U.S. Lawmakers Require More Details on Army's Next-Generation Command and Control Funding

U.S. lawmakers are delaying full funding for the Army's Next-Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative, pending more information on its procurement, testing, integration, and fielding strategies. The fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes a provision to withhold 50 percent of the Army's allocation for NGC2 until these details are clarified. This measure aligns with a similar provision in the House's original bill.
