That plan should include the cost and schedule for making improvements at those locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe committee is aware of the need for expanded test ranges for hypersonic, autonomous systems and new aerospace developments that require access to restricted, air, land and sea space,\u201d the committee said. \u201cThe need to expand rages for seamless interoperability is paramount to address the complexity of weapon systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill also notes that DoD is overdue in delivering a hypersonic testing strategy, which was required in the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. Lawmakers proposed blocking a portion of the travel budget for the Pentagon\u2019s undersecretary for policy until that plan is submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking June 14 at a Defense One Technology Summit, Air Force Research Laboratory Chief Technology Officer Timothy Bunning said his team is trying to do more of its testing in virtual and simulated environments, but that flight-test constraints are a major detriment to the service\u2019s hypersonic programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, he highlighted a recent review from the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board that identified test limitations as \u201cthe number one threat right now to the portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have what we

acquisition chief Andrew Hunter has signaled it may not move forward with the program beyond the prototyping phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House Armed Services
