But House appropriators plan to cut funding to enhance missile defense in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2020\/08\/25\/guam-needs-aegis-ashore\/\" target=\"_blank\">Guam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the House Appropriations Committee\u2019s FY22 spending bill, the MDA\u2019s $78.3 million request for missile defense for Guam \u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/06\/10\/dod-desires-more-funding-to-boost-missile-defense-in-the-pacific-in-wish-list-to-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\"> U.S. Indo-Pacific Command\u2019s top unfunded priority <\/a>\u2014 took a $15.9 million hit due to \u201cunjustified growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency requested an additional $40 million to procure long-lead items for the architecture in Guam as well and appropriators are poised to cut that as well. But according to a wish list sent to Congress from the command, more funding \u2014 to the tune of $231.7 million \u2014 on top of what the MDA requested is needed to move at the desired pace. The list also included funding for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/smd\/2020\/08\/07\/support-to-pursue-hawaii-based-missile-defense-radar-continues-after-dod-drops-funding\/\" target=\"_blank\">Homeland Defense Radar for Hawaii.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile supportive of the defense of Guam from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats, the Committee notes that the report on the defense of Guam from integrated air and missile threats, required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, has not yet been submitted to the congressional defense committees,\u201d the committee notes in its report. \u201cAdditionally, the lack of detailed information on the budget request, especially the request for $40,000,000 in procurement, is troubling. Therefore, the Committee has denied funding for procurement and reduced the amount recommended for research, development, test and evaluation until the Department submits the required report and adequate budgetary information for the Committee to make informed funding decisions on these efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House appropriators did provide $75 million in funding for a HDR-H, which the agency chose not to fund in its budget request. In hearings over the past several months, lawmakers across the defense committees advocated for providing Hawaii the added protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MDA has not finalized or unveiled its plan on how it will enhance missile defense capability on Guam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MDA Director Vice Adm. Jon Hill said the plan is to use mature capabilities, which are believed to include the Aegis Combat System and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/10\/01\/mda-and-army-see-successful-patriot-and-thaad-test-after-failure\/\" target=\"_blank\">Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system<\/a>. The Army deployed a rotational THAAD presence to Guam in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hill acknowledged in a House Strategic Forces Subcommittee hearing last month that he had promised a report to Congress by June, \u201cbut given the complexity of it, that\u2019s going to take us a little bit longer to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing the desired protection for Guam is on \u201ca very aggressive timeline, given where we are at,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It remains to be seen what Senate appropriators will do, but there is support from lawmakers on both Armed Services committees for a missile defense architecture for Guam in addition to the HDR-H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Strategic Forces Subcommittee ranking member Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said during a June 15 hearing that key programs were underfunded. He singled out Guam as one of those programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House appropriators are the first to issue a spending bill for FY22, and it\u2019s unclear if Senate appropriators will follow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/federal-budget\/2020\/02\/11\/mdas-fy21-budget-paves-way-for-new-homeland-missile-defense-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">added $1.3 billion to the MDA\u2019s budget<\/a> last fiscal year and appears poised to do the same this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MDA\u2019s FY22 request focuses on the development of future capabilities including a next-generation interceptor for homeland missile defense, a hypersonic defensive capability and space-based tracking critical to detecting threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency\u2019s funding request came in at $8.9 billion, but lawmakers said they do not believe that is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A June 11 letter from Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., and a group of eight other Republican House lawmakers, sent to House Appropriations Committee leaders, called for the full funding of a variety of missile defense priorities as well as unfunded priorities. It specifically highlighted the need to fund the HDR-H as well as a persistent, 360-degree architecture in Guam to protect it from ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Appropriations Committee is cutting a chunk out of the Missile Defense Agency&#8217;s funding to set up a more robust missile
