Q: What does REQUIREMENT FOR NETWORKED AUTONOMOUS KINETIC CAPABILITY of A bill to provide for a requirement for networked autonomous kinetic capability against small unmanned aircraft systems. do?

This section requires the Secretary of the Army to establish requirements for a networked, autonomous kinetic capability to protect ground platforms against Group 1 and Group 2 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The requirements should prioritize unit common architectures to ensure interoperability of detection, tracking, and interception capabilities across different brigade combat team elements. The capability must include passive and active sensors for UAS threat detection and tracking, autonomous kinetic effects for threat neutralization, and mesh networking for sensor-to-shooter handoffs. The Secretary must submit a report to the congressional defense committees detailing the hardware and software components needed, along with an implementation timeline for fiscal years 2028-2032.
