Welcome to the Department of Defense (DoD) news update. This week, the most significant headline comes from the signing of the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). On December 23, 2024, President Biden signed the bill, authorizing $895.2 billion in funding for the DoD and Department of Energy national security programs[3].
This new budget emphasizes science and technology, with $143.8 billion allocated for research, development, test, and evaluation to meet immediate and future defense needs. The NDAA also includes provisions for protecting biometric data, requiring the DoD to update its policies within 180 days of the bill's enactment, by June 21, 2025[2].
In other developments, the DoD's Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program continues to advance manufacturing capabilities across the services. The 2022 DoD ManTech Program Strategic Plan focuses on four thrust areas, including advancing manufacturing technology, strengthening joint planning and coordination, expanding outreach and communication, and enhancing workforce development[1].
The DoD also participated in the Vietnam Defense Expo 2024, showcasing its commitment to international partnerships and defense cooperation. Additionally, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new energy prototyping capability, highlighting the DoD's investment in emerging technologies[1].
These developments have significant impacts on American citizens, businesses, and state and local governments. The increased focus on science and technology will drive innovation and create new opportunities for businesses and researchers. The emphasis on manufacturing technology will enhance the DoD's ability to produce and sustain critical defense systems, supporting national security and economic growth.
As Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh noted in a recent briefing, "The DoD is committed to advancing our technological capabilities and strengthening our partnerships with industry and international partners to address the complex security challenges we face today."
Looking ahead, the DoD will continue to implement the provisions of the FY 2025 NDAA, with key deadlines and milestones in the coming months. Citizens can engage with the DoD through various channels, including public forums and online resources.
