Authorizes the Secretary of the Army to enter contracts to buy up to 24 future long-range assault aircraft before full-rate production as part of an accelerated low-rate early production effort, with goals of speeding delivery, maintaining production momentum, protecting the specialized workforce and suppliers (including facilities in Texas and Kansas), and reducing lifecycle cost risks. Requires the Secretary to report to congressional defense committees within 180 days with an implementation plan, industrial base readiness assessment, supply chain coordination status, and estimates of long-term cost savings and operational benefits.
