Military Helicopter Training Safety Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Barrett, Tom [R-MI-7]

Introduced

Summary

Requires feasibility studies on installing Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast IN (ADS‑B IN) on military helicopters. The bill would direct the Secretary of Defense to produce two reports within 90 days after enactment that assess costs, effects on civilian airspace safety, necessary cockpit changes, operational implications for combat and training, and alternative systems if installation is not feasible.

Show full summary
  • Military aviators and units: Would trigger a formal review of how TCAS and ADS‑B IN could be fitted into rotary‑wing aircraft and how cockpit configurations and operations might change.
  • Civilian airspace and general aviation: Would force an analysis of how installing these systems on military helicopters could affect safety in shared airspace.
  • Defense planners and Congress: Would create a short, structured decision record including cost estimates and recommended alternatives if full installation is not feasible.

*Would not authorize new funding for these studies and therefore contains no direct new federal spending or revenue changes.*
