Requires the Department of Defense to create a SkyFoundry Program to speed development, testing, and scalable manufacture of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), with possible expansion to related energetics and other autonomous systems. The Program will be run through the Secretary of the Army as part of the Defense Industrial Resilience Consortium and must include two Government‑owned facilities: an innovation/test facility and a production facility designed to reach a 1,000,000 unit annual manufacturing capacity once fully established.
The law authorizes alternative acquisition and contracting approaches, directs protection of Government intellectual property, and directs use of Defense Production Act Title III authorities and expedited approvals where appropriate to accelerate production and workforce scale-up.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
