hypersonic, hypersonic is a new weapon that operates at five times the speed of sound. this thing is something that we've been working on, and we're racing against our peer competitors china and russia, and they're ahead of us. they're ahead of us in the areas of a triad, the nuclear triad. we haven't done anything to our nuclear program in the last ten years, and they're ahead of us. so all these things are happening. the troops know it out there. they know that their pay raise is in this bill. they know their benefits are in this bill. they know it's a good bill. it shoulds unanimously in the united states senate. but if you start putting something on it that, number one, doesn't belong on it in terms of germaneness, and, number two, is one that is going to cause a pause that could be detrimental to our fighting troops and for our getting the bill done, then i wouldn't want to do that. so i would like to join senator corker until finding another bill, and i will do all i could to help him to get that on as an amendment, but not to the defense authorization bill. i thi

back to your question about what we have and what we do now, hypersonic weapons the airbase hypersonic ten mark missile have already been commissioned and it's deployed in southern federal districts. if they have any doubts, let them have a look. we've demonstrated the test. the laser -based weapon system is already been commissioned, a military is using it and it's in industrial production and in 2019 we will supply it to the military. in 2020 we will supply the most powerful missile system, a new ballistic missile. we also have other developments. to weapons with the nuclear based engine. it's a missile and also a submersible drone. we've completed the main stage of development. we also have a nuclear propulsion system. that's been completed. there are some things that have to be done, but it's on schedule and i have no doubt these new armaments will be commissioned and armed forces will get it. those who have some doubts, they had some doubts in 2004. it's too early to say we have other developments. we will make the announcement in due time. : : the bridge over 300,000 vehicles hav

we have hypersonics. hypersonics is a new system whereby people are talking about a weapon that is five times the speed of sound. it's something that is still under development. we are working on it in our country. however, we are behind both china and russia. they are ahead of us in this training. nuclear triad, we haven't done anything for the last ten years on both china and russia. again, they are actually ahead of us. so it's not like it used to be where we did have the very best of everything. so we're standing up to china by strengthening our position across the pacific region. this bill provides support to our allies who stand up against china's military and economic coercion and procedures deploy air base system to enhance incredible combat power. the ndaa also calls out china for illegally creating fortified islands in the south china sea for military purposes. that's what they're for. nothing is on there except for preparing for some military activity. modernizing the committee on foreign inves

right now one of the most modern systems is the hypersonic warfare. a lot of people are not aware of this, but that allows us to go in five times the speed of sound with a weapon and we've been developing this for some time, however, now we find out both russia and china are ahead of us on this, and this bill is going to put us in high gear and make sure that actually happens. our nuclear triad system is one that we have not been doing anything for the last eight or ten years, and now russia and china have gone by us. so, you know, this is something that we are not going to tolerate, and so we had the john s. mccain defense authorization act for fiscal year 2018. we will get to it today. and i wanted to mention that we are actually hoping for a couple of amendments that would take place this afternoon. one would be a boozman amendment. and these have to be agreed to and have been agreed to by both sides. the boozman amendment 2276 is a study to suggest permanent stationing of our troops in poland and the second one is the mccain fellowship amendment b

importantly, china is investing heavily in the next generation of military technologies, things like hypersonic missiles, high-energy lasers, rail guns and all manner of autonou vehicles. now, china's leaders do not seek a fight with the united states. indeed, from their study of history, they believe that the only thing that can prevent china's rise is in fact conflict with the united states. their concern, however, is that such -- that external events such as a move towards independence by taiwan or something else that happened that's outside of their control could force their hand and force them to engage in conflict, and they also worry that the united states will use its military superiority to contain and still china. we use the word containment as a relatively benign thing. it's not seen that way in beijing. and so as a result, although they envision using their military forces for other purposes, the primary goal of china's military development efforts now and for the foreseeable future is going to be to reach parity with the united states and eventually surpass us in military capabilit

hypersonic. hypersonic is something not many people know about. it's a weapons system that moves five times the speed of sound. this is something that is going to be where future wars are going to be fought, and yet china and russia are both ahead of us right now. and so we are with this bill going back and are advancing in some areas where we have been very, very slow. and the goal as always is to provide our war fighters with the resources and capabilities they need and to do so on time, on schedule, and at a reasonable cost. i'm going to run over this because i think it's important that the people out there know and even some members of this body, if they're not on the committee, they might not be aware of it, but the -- it's an authorization, and what the legislation does, it authorizes starting with $23 billion for shipbuilding to fund ten new construction battle force jets. it provides procurement of 117 naval aviation aircraft. it has $6.6 billion to procure 75 f-35 joint strike fighters. i think we all recognize the mistake that we made ba

hypersonic weapons are weapons that move at five times the speed of sound, and we're actually behind both china and russia in developing that capability. we can say the same thing about the triad nuclear progress. we've done virtually nothing in the last ten years while we've watched china and russia go beyond us. and of course these are the things that we are addressing. on memorial day, the "oklahoman" discussed how china and russia have artillery capabilities. artillery capabilities are generally looked at in terms of rapid-fire and range and they're ahead of us in both of these areas. so this idea that america has the best of everything is something that most people believe, and we've fallen behind and we need to not be critical of how we got behind. that's not important now. we know where we are. woe know that -- we know that we can start with this bill and we are going to be having the motion to advance the bill. and met me say this. during the consideration of this bill in our committee, we had well-attended meetings. we've had -- we actually considered 300 amendments during t

it also promotes a more intricate missile defense and defends us against hypersonic threats, and importantly, mr. president, in terms of missile defense, this bill focuses on our allies, working together with our allies in korea, in japan, and in other places in europe to share these missile defense capabilities so we, as our allies, have a much more robust system. let me just talk briefly upon the really important issue of space-based sensors. every expert that has testified in front of the armed services committee, whether the current director of the missile defense agency, general grieves, whether the four-star general in charge of extra tinlic command, -- strategic command, general heighten, or whether the former director, admiral searing, have saul said -- have all said space-based sensors are critical. the time is now. what does that mean? what does that do? well, we have different systems in different parts of the country -- or different parts of the world. in south korea, we have the thaad system, and we also have the asian system on our shore and in our ships, and back home, we have
