“Section 241 is part of the Senate's continuing efforts to improve the Department's labs and test centers. This pilot program expands and authorizes a number of innovative business practice and personnel demonstrations that are very important to developing the technological superiority that our military needs. The legislation will extend the time period for the pilot program authority for three years. This extension is consistent with the Department of Defense's legislative proposals that the Armed Services Committee received. I would like to thank Senator Landrieu, chair of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, for taking the lead in developing this legislation.”
