United States-Israel FUTURES Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Jackson, Ronny [R-TX-13]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would create the United States-Israel FUTURES Act to set up a bilateral "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" aimed at speeding joint development and U.S. integration of Israeli-origin defense technologies. It focuses on collaborative research, testing, industrial cooperation, and faster transition of technologies into U.S. military systems and procurement pathways.

Show full summary
  • U.S. military and warfighters would gain a formal process to identify and transition Israeli-origin technologies into U.S. systems and programs of record and to run joint training and information-sharing to improve operational readiness.
  • U.S. and Israeli industry would get frameworks for joint ventures, licensing, and U.S.-based co-production that aim to strengthen the defense industrial base and create manufacturing partnerships.
  • Researchers, private sector partners, and academic institutions would be able to join collaborative R&D across both countries under protections for sensitive technology, with DoD required to provide an interim update within 180 days and annual public reports (with classified annexes as needed).

*Would authorize $150 million per year for fiscal years 2027–2029, totaling $450 million in new appropriations and increasing federal spending.*

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

New U.S.-Israel defense tech program

If enacted, the bill would direct the Secretary of Defense, with Israel’s defense minister, to create a U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. The Initiative would speed joint research, testing, and U.S.-based co-production for tech like missile defense (including a "Golden Dome for America"), AI and autonomy, cyber, biotech, directed energy, and counter-drone systems. The bill would authorize $150 million to be appropriated for each of fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029; that money would still need later approval in regular spending bills. The Secretary would have to give a progress update within 180 days and annual public reports starting one year after enactment; some report details could be in a classified annex.
