## Summary

**Deepens U.S.–Israel defense cooperation** by creating funded joint programs, tech partnerships, and reporting rules that would accelerate counter-unmanned systems, emerging defense technologies, and regional defense integration. - Would require the Department of Defense to assess integrated air and missile defense in the Central Command region and deliver a final unclassified report within 180 days to guide what authorities and funding would be needed to expand cooperation. - Would create an Emerging Defense Technology Capabilities Program for joint R&D in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation, designate a DoD lead directorate, and authorize $50 million a year for 2026–2030. - Would establish a U.S.–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program with $150 million a year for 2026–2030, increase authorized funding for anti-tunnel work to $80 million and for counter–unmanned aerial systems to $75 million, and require regular reporting, cost-sharing, and IP agreements. *Would authorize at least $200 million per year from 2026–2030 for the two new programs and raise funding caps for other programs, increasing federal spending.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- Bilateral counter‑drone program and funding: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would set up a U.S.-Israel Counter‑Unmanned Systems Program and a DoD program office, with Israel's defense minister required to agree. It would authorize $150 million for each fiscal year 2026 through 2030 for that program. The bill would also extend existing U.S.-Israel count…
- Joint emerging technology program with Israel: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would authorize an Emerging Defense Technology Capabilities Program with Israel and $50 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would let DoD do joint R&D in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation if Israel requests it and U.S. officials are consul…
- Extend War Reserves stockpile authority: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would change the War Reserves Stockpile Authority date so it runs after January 1, 2029 instead of after January 1, 2027. This extends the statutory authority used for war reserve planning and stockpile operations.
- More funding and time for anti‑tunnel work: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would extend U.S.-Israel anti‑tunnel cooperation authority to December 31, 2028. It would also raise the authorized funding level for that program from $50 million to $80 million. Actual spending would still require Congress to appropriate funds.
