Money is appropriated for drones, rocket motors and factory capacity
What the document says“$1,000,000,000 for the expansion of the one-way attack unmanned aerial systems industrial base;”
Fourteen of the sums go to the industrial base and stockpile: $61,000,000 to speed Navy expeditionary loitering munitions and $50,000,000 for one-way attack unmanned aerial systems with advanced autonomy; $1,000,000,000 to expand the one-way attack unmanned aerial systems industrial base; $200,000,000 and $400,000,000 for the solid rocket motor industrial base and the emerging one through the Industrial Base Fund; $42,000,000 for second sources for large-diameter solid rocket motors for hypersonic missiles; $1,000,000,000 for next-generation automated munitions factories; $170,000,000 for an advanced radar depot; $25,000,000 to expand the industrial base policy analysis workforce; $30,300,000 to repair Army missiles; $100,000,000 for small and medium ammunition; $2,000,000,000 for the critical minerals stockpile through the National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund; $10,000,000 for the armaments cooperation workforce; and $500,000,000 to expand the Defense Exportability Features program.
What the document actually says“$1,000,000,000 for the expansion of the one-way attack unmanned aerial systems industrial base;”
One sum is $1 billion. It builds up the plants that make one-way attack drones.
A one-way attack drone is not meant to come back. Other sums cover rocket motors and new factories. One puts $2 billion into a store of critical minerals.
