AOC also submitted serveral recommendations for considertation in the FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, including the following P1 - Clarification in use of funds authorized for sustainment of EW systems to be used for modernization P2 - Report/Briefing to Congress on advancing EO/IR Threats and development of EO/IR Countermeasures P3 - Inclusion of EW in Rapid Acquisition Authority P4 - Waiver of JROC for certain EW systems P5 - Report/Briefing for Congress on state of EW test and training ranges P6 - Fund for Joint Testing and Experimentation of Advanced EW and Directed Energy Technologies (fund to assist in funding joint testing and experimentation to limit the need to scrape together funding from disparate accounts). Made communication with select Members of Congress (House of Representatives) to discuss drafting and introducing new legislation in the 115th Congress that is similar to H.R. 4851, the Electronic Warfare Capabilities Enhancement Act, from the 114th Congress.
