S 990 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to require the Commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command to conduct a gap analysis of the capabilities of the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

This bill requires the Commander of NORAD to conduct a gap analysis of NORAD's capabilities, specifically identifying any limitations that could allow foreign aircraft to enter U.S. or Canadian airspace unnoticed. The analysis must examine vulnerabilities exploited or potentially exploitable by foreign nations. Within 90 days of the bill becoming law, the Commander must submit a report on the findings to the Senate and House Committees on Armed Services. The bill directly affects NORAD's operational assessment process and mandates a formal congressional report on airspace security gaps.
