TITLE III PROCUREMENT airborne reconnaissance initiative Since the creation of the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program [DARP], the Committee has supported its activities. However, the Committee has become increasingly alarmed at the consistent and continuing trend by the program to fund new initiatives at the expense of proven systems that are currently in use and are critical to the national security. In reviewing the fiscal year 1997 request, the Committee has determined that many of the initiatives begun by DARP have been terminated due to developmental problems, were merged with other initiatives that have yet to reach fruition or simply renamed and continued. Concurrently, identified funding shortfalls to upgrade current systems persist, despite their recognized importance. In an effort to strike a more harmonious balance between fulfilling today's requirements and meeting tomorrow's needs, the Committee has determined that programs managed by DARP should be returned to the services. The Committee expects the services to work together on all joint programs to achieve the successes they have enjoyed with such programs as V-22, JDAM, and AMRAAM. Accordingly, the Committee has realigned the funding of programs that currently passes through DARP to service program offices and has appropriated the funds directly to those offices. The Committee directs that all military personnel and O&M funding associated with DARP activities be returned to the appropriate service.

Included within this request is $4,451,000 for the initial low-rate procurement of four rigid inflatable boats [RIB]. Because of delays in the source selection process for the competitive award of three off-the-shelf test articles, NSWC will not complete testing and final source selection until fiscal year 1998. The Committee, therefore, recommends providing no procurement funds for RIB low-rate initial production in fiscal year 1997, a reduction of $4,451,000 from the budget request. Miscellaneous equipment.--The budget request includes $3,030,000 for the procurement of various types of equipment required to support special operations forces. The Committee recommends providing $15,230,000, an increase of $12,200,000 above the budget request. The Committee recommends providing an additional $4,100,000 to accelerate and complete the procurement of 357 wireless intercom systems for all Special Operations Command [SOCOM] aircraft, an additional $6,600,000 to accelerate and complete the procurement of active noise reduction protection for the remainder of all SOCOM fixed wing assets, and an additional $1,500,000 to initiate the procurement of individual body armor in sufficient quantities to support the issuance of one set for each authorized position, as outlined by the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Committee expects SOCOM to budget for and procure the remaining quantities of body armor required for a revised supply policy which issues body armor for exclusive use while assigned in an authorized position. Other adjustments The Committee recommends incorporating the following adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the Senate authorization committee action: [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Item 1997 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advance SEAL delivery system [ASDS] (advance procurement) (CY).. .............. 4,400 +4,400 Selectable lightweight attack munitions [SLAM].................. .............. 5,000 +5,000 Timed relay firing devices...................................... .............. 8,000 +8,000 Communication equipment and electronics......................... 26,617 39,617 +13,000 SOF intelligence systems........................................ 19,833 24,333 +4,500 C-130 modifications............................................. 86,677 110,477 +23,800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Guard and Reserve Equipment NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE AIRCRAFT items of special interest The Committee agrees that this National Guard and Reserve equipment program shall be executed by the heads of the Guard and Reserve components with priority consideration for miscellaneous equipment appropriations given to the following items: Pacer Coin modifications TITLE IV RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS Army missile defense systems integration (demonstration/ validation).--The Committee is aware of the importance of the Missile Defense Battle Integration Center [BIC] in accomplishing the integration of the Army's Theater Missile Defense Program. The Army's Battle Integration Center has been a critical participant in numerous exercises and experiments in fiscal year 1996, serving as an important tool for accomplishing the integration of the Army's Theater Missile Defense Program. The Committee allocates $27,000,000 to continue BIC operations. Artillery systems--demonstration/validation.--The Committee has provided funding to continue initial development of the advanced field artillery system known as Crusader. The Army recently transitioned the Crusader design to a solid propellant gun. This decision preserves Crusader's mobility advantage over the current Palladin system. However, Crusader's gun range will be matched by a number of international systems and could be achieved by improving the Palladin gun according to Army briefings. Given the impact of this decision on Crusader performance, the Committee believes that the Department of Defense should reevaluate all possible options for modernizing its self- propelled howitzer. The system developed to modernize the Army's artillery force will likely serve the Army until 2030 or beyond. While the Army has placed great emphasis on equipping the first Crusader unit by 2005, Crusader must be a system for the 2020 battlefield. To ensure the improvements offered by Crusader merit an investment of over $8,000,000,000, the Committee believes DOD should conduct an independent assessment of all options for modernizing the Army's self-propelled howitzer force. The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (acquisition and technology) to commission a Defense Science Board [DSB] panel to review all possible options for performing the artillery mission. The review should countenance the current and future threat the Army's combined arms force will face. Options may include an assessment of the ability of low cost, GPS guided rockets and standoff precision munitions like the joint direct attack munition [JDAM] to perform, in conjunction with an improved Palladin, portions of the artillery munition on today's and tomorrow's battlefield. The panel should assess all relevant aspects of the options, including the cost to acquire, the cost to effectively perform battlefield missions, and the flexibility to adapt to future battlefields. The Committee directs that the congressional defense committees receive a report summarizing the analysis and conclusions of the DSB panel no later than June 30, 1997. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out- year transition commitments; or can be deferred without adversely affecting related program developments.

Advanced materials for weapon systems.--The Committee directs the Department of Defense to release the funds appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1996, for metal fatigue monitoring technology. Advanced weapons technology.--The Committee increases funds for the advanced excimer laser programs. Of the funds added, the Committee directs that $10,000,000 shall be made available only for the laser induced microwave emissions [LIME] program and $10,000,000 shall be made available only for the high resolution imaging program for space object identification. Technology evaluation and testing for these programs should be performed, where possible and cost-effective, using resources at the Army's High Energy Laser Test Facility at the White Sands Missile Range. Evolved expendable launch vehicle [EELV] program (space).-- The Committee recommends $74,457,000, which represents an increase of $30,000,000 to the budget request to enhance funding for the preengineering and manufacturing development phase of this program to develop a new family of medium-lift and heavy-lift space boosters. The Committee also directs that use of the Centaur Processing Facility [CPF] at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station be included in the baseline specifications and requirements for development of the EELV family of space boosters. The CPF already has cost $59,400,000 to construct and equip, although the Air Force has decided not to use it due to a reduction in planned launches. The Committee believes that using CPF for the evolved space booster program should reduce program costs and return some of the taxpayers' investment. . Trusted Rubix.--The Air Force may obligate up to $1,500,000 from within available funds for this program. Cobra ball.--The Committee directs that the additional funds are only available to conduct design studies, analyses, and other efforts associated with determining the feasibility of downsizing the current field laser radar demonstration [FLD] for possible future installation on a cobra ball or other airborne platforms.

This network of detectors can be deployed around critical sites and entry points. WATS may be able to enhance U.S. nuclear search capabilities, contributing to our ability to prevent terrorism involving nuclear/radiological weapons and devices. Target identification technology.--The Committee notes the importance of ongoing efforts by the Department of Defense to develop reliable noncooperative target identification [NCTI] systems that will reduce the incidents of fratricide and improve overall targeting capabilities. The Committee is aware of the development of commercial off-the-shelf [COTS] technology in this field and encourages the Department to make increasing use of these systems. Defense reconnaissance support activities.--The Committee approves an increase of $26,800,000 for the Defense Support Project Office to initiate a program applying DOD satellite capabilities to support civil needs. The Committee applauds this effort to use DOD assets to serve the Nation by detecting forest fires and volcanic activity at the earliest possible stages. The recent, tragic losses caused by forest fires in Alaska and New Mexico highlight the critical need for this effort. The Committee believes this program can help minimize the loss of lives and property while also reducing the enormous financial cost of responding to these disasters. The Committee directs that these funds shall only be available to the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (space) to complete architecture design, algorithm development, concept of operations definition, and other tasks to support this program. Ballistic missile defense organization [BMDO].--The Committee has provided $3,390,082,000 for research, development, test and evaluation [RDT&E] efforts on national and theater ballistic missile defense systems and technologies. This appropriation represents an overall increase of $855,900,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO] RDT&E budget request. The Committee has also approved the budget request amount for procurement of missile defense systems, $263,173,000, in the ``Procurement, defense-wide'' account. Thus, the total appropriation for ballistic missile defense programs in this bill is $3,654,659,000, the amount approved in the Senate reported bill authorizing DOD programs for fiscal year 1997. The Committee has made a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E accounts.

The Committee supports the efforts of the Director of BMDO to remedy the underfunding of BMDO's advanced technology issues. The Committee urges BMDO to achieve the dedication of approximately 12 percent of its funds to advanced technology efforts. The Committee has included $10,000,000 for a wide bandgap electronics program in the applied research program element. This program will target development of gallium nitride and silicon carbide as semiconductors and will be affiliated with an academic institution, as described in the Senate reported DOD authorization bill. Of the additional advanced technology development funds, an increase of $40,000,000 is recommended to continue the Atmospheric Interceptor Technology [AIT] Program, providing a total of $47,442,000. AIT is designed to develop and flight test the advanced kill vehicle lightweight technologies necessary for future hypersonic hit-to-kill interceptors, and to provide technology insertion, preplanned product improvement [P\3\I] and reduced life cycle costs for BMDO core programs. The Committee recommended increase also includes $20,000,000 only to continue efforts under the Russian-American Observational Satellite [RAMOS] Program. Finally, the remaining additional funds are provided to address priority shortfalls in advanced technology as well as key investment opportunities. A number of investment opportunities were highlighted by the Director of BMDO during testimony before the Committee. The Committee believes the following activities should be considered when allocating the additional increase amount: sensor and seeker component programs; interceptor component programs; photon laser spacecraft; directed energy concepts; phenomenological research; space-based laser [SBL] program; and battle management and command, control, and communications [BMC\3\] components. Sensors (active and passive).--The Committee understands that the midcourse space experiment [MSX] may provide valuable data for use in designing theater and national missile defense systems. The Committee strongly urges BMDO to fully fund the operation of MSX, including data analysis efforts, during fiscal year 1997. Joint theater missile defense--demonstration/validation.-- The Committee notes that the budget request for this program element includes $19,766,000 for development of the extended airborne global launch evaluator [EAGLE]. EAGLE is intended to provide a theater ballistic missile [TBM] detection capability for the airborne warning and control system [AWACS]. Budget documents indicate that over $55,000,000 will be spent demonstrating the EAGLE concept in preparation for an engineering and manufacturing development [EMD] program. The Committee is also aware of a proposal to transfer Cobra Ball technology to Rivet Joint. This program would allow Rivet Joint aircraft to provide long-range detection and tracking of ballistic missile launches. The Committee understands that it is expected to cost $70,000,000 over 4 years to provide this capability to all Rivet Joint aircraft. The Committee believes the development of both capabilities is unaffordable and unnecessary. The Committee recommendation cuts the budget request amount for AWACS EAGLE. The Committee has added these funds to a new project, airborne sensors for ballistic missile tracking. The Committee directs that the Under Secretary of Defense (acquisition and technology) [USD(A&T)] evaluate AWACS EAGLE, Rivet Joint technology transfer, and any other concepts for cost effectively providing an airborne sensor capability to detect and track ballistic missiles. The Committee directs that the USD(A&T) provide a plan for developing this capability and allocating the appropriated funds no later than May 1, 1997. The Committee understands that the Space and Strategic Defense Command's [SSDC] Advanced Research Center [ARC] has proven to be a valuable asset in the analysis and testing of theater and national missile defense systems. The Committee recommends an increase of $7,000,000, providing a total of $15,000,000 to fund the SSDC's ARC. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS Excess funds.--The reductions recommended by the Committee in the following table delete funds which are excess to firm program requirements based on delays in the release of prior- year funds; late award of contract efforts; slow execution of prior-year funds; or differences between the budget request and the actual program plans.

TITLE VI OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS GLOBAL INFECTIOUS DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE PROGRAM The Committee notes that the President recently signed a Presidential decision directive on emerging infectious diseases, expanding the mission of the Department of Defense to include support of global surveillance, training, research and response to emerging infectious diseases threats. The Department is currently developing a surveillance and response system to handle infectious diseases which pose a threat to military personnel and national security. This Committee supports this DOD-wide initiative and directs the Department to include funding for this program in the fiscal year 1998 Defense Health Program budget submission. Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to U.S. military operations. With the reductions in the U.S. military and the need to respond to conflict anywhere in the world, it is vitally important to preserve combat readiness. The Committee has provided sufficient funds to continue this critical research.

National Guard activities.--The Committee recognizes the many contributions the National Guard has made to the counterdrug effort and directs the Department to ensure that this program is fully funded and supported. Civil Air Patrol.--Funds made available to the Civil Air Patrol [CAP] in the fiscal year 1997 appropriation for Defense Department drug interdiction activities may be used for CAP's demand reduction program involving youth programs as well as operational and training drug reconnaissance missions for Federal, State, and local government agencies; for travel and per diem expenses of CAP personnel in support of those missions; and for equipment needed for mission support or performance. The Air Force should waive reimbursement from the Federal, State, and local government agencies for use of these funds. Gulf States counterdrug initiative.--The Committee has provided an additional $4,800,000 to support the Regional Counterdrug Training Academy and other priority activities. Reconnaissance and interdiction detachment [RAID].--The Committee understands that the Army National Guard is conducting a comprehensive review of the RAID program for the purpose of ensuring its resources fulfill current and future requirements. In anticipation of the completion of this study, the Committee has provided an additional $500,000 for implementation of a more focused RAID program.
