Sense of the Senate on discrimination for missile defense (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) General Lori Robinson, Commander of United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), stated, I continue to prioritize improvements to the intercontinental ballistic missile defense sensor architecture to enhance system resiliency and target discrimination … As our adversaries develop and field more sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missiles, improved target discrimination will improve the likelihood of a successful engagement. . (2) General Robinson also stated, Improved discrimination capability will increase the likelihood of a successful intercept, and the Missile Defense Agency is developing additional radars such as the Long Range Discrimination Radar in Alaska and a persistent radar on Hawaii, both of which will provide improved target discrimination and a more survivable sensor network. . (3) General Samuel Greaves, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, stated, In addition, improvements in sensor coverage to include the long-range discrimination radar in Clear, Alaska, the addition of homeland defense radar in Hawaii, if it’s approved, and planning for a homeland defense radar in the Pacific, as well as advanced discrimination improvements, will enable the United States to improve protection of the homeland. . (4) In the President’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2019, the Missile Defense Agency requested the following: (A) $220,900,000 to continue the development of advanced discrimination for the AN/TPY–2, Sea-Based X-band (SBX) radar, and the Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWRs) to counter evolving threats. (B) $164,600,000 to continue development of the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) and $174,000,000 for
