National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
House Bill, H.R. 3838 (NDAA FY2026)
What it did
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is the annual bill that sets Pentagon policy and spending levels. Each year it carries a line for United States-Israel cooperative programs, mainly the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow missile-defense systems, and it extends the War Reserve Stockpile for Israel, the forward-positioned American arsenal that Israel draws on during wartime.
The fiscal year 2026 NDAA (H.R. 3838, sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL)) authorized $500,000,000 ($500M) for the missile-defense programs, $80 million for the joint anti-tunnel program, and $35 million for joint work on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, about $615 million in all, with the stockpile extended. A yes vote approved the package.
A no vote rejected it.
