To direct the Department of Defense to report to Congress on the efforts of the Department to coordinate with the defense industrial base for purposes of countering certain capabilities of the People's Liberation of Army.
HR 6902 requires the Department of Defense to submit a report to Congress by March 30, 2024, detailing how it coordinates with defense companies to counter China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) military technology capabilities, specifically in space and cyber domains. The report must describe current coordination efforts, outline plans to expand collaboration through joint exercises and information-sharing mechanisms, and include feedback from defense industry partners on potential threats and solutions. This bill directly affects the Department of Defense and defense industry companies by mandating formal reporting on strategies to address PLA capabilities that impact U.S. national security.
