Senate panel seeks milestone A decision, integrated master plan for CPGS

摘要

Senate authorizers want the Defense Department to make a milestone A decision for the Conventional Prompt Global Strike program, which is designed to strike a target anywhere in the world in under an hour using non-nuclear weapons, and provide more details on any potential issues that could delay the future program of record. In its fiscal year 2017 defense policy bill, the Senate Armed Services Committee calls on the defense secretary "to make a milestone A decision for Conventional Prompt Global Strike no later than Sept. 30, 2020, or eight months after the successful completion of the intermediate range flight 2 test," according to the report accompanying the bill.
