Unmanned System Command and Control Integration Assessment Act...
A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to assess and report on the feasibility of incorporating open-architecture, unmanned system command and control frameworks into Department of Defense unmanned system operations across all unmanned system tiers and domains, drawing on lessons from allied and partner country systems, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes that the Secretary of Defense evaluate the potential of using open-architecture command and control frameworks in the Department of Defense's unmanned systems. It aims to consider insights from allied and partner countries and assess the feasibility across all levels and types of unmanned systems. The bill was introduced on June 24, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Armed Services for further review.
The bill would primarily affect the Department of Defense and potentially any entities involved in the development and operation of unmanned systems. By exploring open-architecture frameworks, it could lead to more adaptable and interoperable systems, improving collaboration and efficiency.
