The committee voted 53-0 in favor of advancing the bill to the full House for a vote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImproving aviation safety and protecting our national security are not mutually exclusive,\u201d committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., said in his <a href=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=6455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/armedservices.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=6455\">opening<\/a> remarks Thursday, adding that \u201cby taking our time and following regular order, we have produced a bill that does both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill would require all military aircraft to install crash prevention technology by 2031, with the exception of drones and military fighter and bomber aircraft. If enacted, the legislation would be implemented over several years, giving the services time to install new systems and update training protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill also aims to balance safety requirements with national security concerns, making sure aircraft can operate without incident and without disclosing sensitive flight data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal investigators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/01\/28\/faa-army-failures-contributed-to-fatal-dc-air-collision-report-finds\/\" rel=\"\">found<\/a> that a series of failures by both the Federal Aviation Administration and the Army contributed to the fatal Jan. 29, 2025, crash, to include an overburdened air traffic control system, congested helicopter routes and missed warnings from earlier close calls in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Transportation Safety Board issued more than a dozen recommendations following the crash, including changes to training, airspace management and safety oversight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legislation addresses reforms put forth by federal investigators
