Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. STRONG. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of this amendment and in support of the Army's continued investment in unmanned ground vehicle technology.

It is an Army priority to provide commanders on the ground with enhanced situational awareness and increased flexibility on the modern battlefield. This plus-up would take a step in the right direction to fill existing command and control capability gaps that would hinder our warfighter on the front lines.

I have been proud to support the provisions in this NDAA and Defense appropriations bills the past two cycles, not only because of the work done in Huntsville, Alabama, but because this is addressing a critical national security need.

This is why I am here, to do what is best for national security.

Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to support this amendment.
