REPORT ON FUTURE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF MAN-PORTABLE AND VEHICLE-MOUNTED GUIDED MISSILE SYSTEMS.

SEC. 246. REPORT ON FUTURE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF MAN-PORTABLE AND VEHICLE-MOUNTED GUIDED MISSILE SYSTEMS.(a) Report.—Not later than February 15, 2010, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to Congress a report on future research and development of man-portable and vehicle-mounted guided missile systems to replace the current Javelin and TOW systems. Such report shall include—(1) an examination of current requirements for anti-armor missile systems;(2) an analysis of battlefield uses other than anti-armor;(3) an analysis of changes required to the current Javelin and TOW systems to maximize effectiveness and lethality in situations other than anti-armor;(4) an analysis of the current family of Javelin and TOW warheads and a specific description of how they address threats other than armor;(5) an examination of the need for changes to current or development of additional warheads or a family of warheads to address threats other than armor;(6) a description of any missile system design changes required to integrate current missile systems with current manned ground systems;(7) a detailed and current analysis of the costs associated with the development of next-generation Javelin and TOW systems and additional warheads or family of warheads to address threats other than armor, integration costs for current vehicles, integration costs for future vehicles and possible efficiencies of developing and procuring these systems at low rate and full rate based on current system production; and123 STAT. 2240(8) an analysis of the ability of the industrial base to support development and production of current and future Javelin and TOW systems.(b) Restriction on Use of Funds.—Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated under this Act for research, test, development, and evaluation for the Army, for missile and rocket advanced technology (program element 0603313A), not more than 70 percent may be obligated or expended until the Secretary of the Army submits the report required by subsection (a).
