THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE MASTER PLAN.

SEC. 236. THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE MASTER PLAN. (a) Integration and Compatibility.—In carrying out the Theater Missile Defense Initiative, the Secretary of Defense shall— (1) seek to maximize the use of existing systems and technologies; and (2) seek to promote joint use by the military departments of existing and future ballistic missile defense equipment (rather than each military department developing its own systems that would largely overlap in their capabilities). The Secretaries of the military departments shall seek the maximum integration and compatibility of their ballistic missile defense systems as well as of the respective roles and missions of those systems. (b) TMD Master Plan.—The Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report (which shall constitute the TMD master plan) containing a thorough and complete analysis of the future of theater missile defense programs. The report shall include the following: (1) A description of the mission and scope of Theater Missile Defense. (2) A description of the role of each of the Armed Forces in Theater Missile Defense. (3) A description of how those roles interact and complement each other. (4) An evaluation of the cost and relative effectiveness of each interceptor and sensor under development as part of a Theater Missile Defense system by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. (5) A detailed acquisition strategy which includes an analysis and comparison of the projected acquisition and life-cycle costs of each Theater Missile Defense system intended for production (shown separately for research, development, test, and evaluation, for procurement, for operation and maintenance, and for personnel costs for each system). (6) Specification of the baseline production rate for each year of the program through completion of procurement. (7) An estimate of the unit cost and capabilities of each system. (8) A description of plans for theater and tactical missile defense doctrine, training, tactics, and force structure. (c) Description of Testing Program.—The Secretary of Defense shall include in the report under subsection (b)— (1) a description of the current and projected testing program for Theater Missile Defense systems and major components; and (2) an evaluation of the adequacy of the testing program to simulate conditions similar to those the systems and components would actually be expected to encounter if and when deployed (such as the ability to track and engage multiple targets with multiple interceptors, to discriminate targets from 107 STAT. 1599decoys and other incoming objects, and to be employed in a shoot-look-shoot firing mode). (d) Relationship to Arms Control Treaties.—The Secretary shall include in the report under subsection (b) a statement of how production and deployment of any projected Theater Missile Defense program will conform to all relevant arms control agreements. The report shall describe any potential noncompliance with any such agreement, when such noncompliance is expected to occur, and whether provisions need to be renegotiated within that agreement to address future contingencies. (e) Submission of Report.—The report required by subsection (b) shall be submitted as part of the next annual report of the Secretary submitted to Congress under section 224 of Public Law 101–189 (10 U.S.C. 2431 note). (f) Objectives of Plan.—In preparing the master plan, the Secretary shall— (1) seek to maximize the use of existing technologies (such as SM-2, AEGIS, Patriot, and THAAD) rather than develop new systems; (2) seek to maximize integration and compatibility among the systems, roles, and missions of the military departments; and (3) seek to promote cross-service use of existing equipment (such as development of Army equipment for the Marine Corps or ground utilization of an air or sea system). (g) Review and Report on Deployment of Ballistic Missile defenses.—(1) The Secretary of Defense shall conduct an intensive and extensive review of opportunities to streamline the weapon systems acquisition process applicable to the development, testing, and deployment of theater ballistic missile defenses with the objective of reducing the cost of deployment and accelerating the schedule for deployment without significantly increasing programmatic risk or concurrency. (2) In conducting the review, the Secretary shall obtain recommendations and advice from— (A) the Defense Science Board; (B) the faculty of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces; and (C) federally funded research and development centers supporting the Office of the Secretary of Defense. (3) Not later than May 1, 1994, the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the Secretary’s findings resulting from the review under paragraph (1), together with any recommendations of the Secretary for legislation. The Secretary shall submit the report in unclassified form, but may submit a classified version of the report if necessary to clarify any of the information in the findings or recommendations or any related information. The report may be submitted as part of the next annual report of the Secretary submitted to Congress under section 224 of Public Law 101–189 (10 U.S.C. 2431 note).
