B-11 / Strategic assessment
Accelerate drone fielding while expanding the supplier base
Existing acquisition pathways; external constraints remain
Existing pathway
Research, prototype, commercial acquisition and production-support tools can support an eligible defense drone requirement.
What remains unresolved
Airspace permissions, spectrum, test-range access, supply restrictions and fielding approvals are separate; acquisition authority does not waive them. This research does not establish a missing general power to buy drones.
Coordination or legislative question
Name the actual blocked action before requesting legislation; use relevant DoD and civil-agency coordination where existing law permits.
Analytical mapping from the cited demand to statutory mechanisms; not a claim that the strategy expressly requests every possible mechanism.
