     in synchronizing training on counter-drone tactics across the 
     military services;
       (3) recognizes the important role of the C-UAS Academy in 
     the military education and training of foreign partners on 
     counter-unmanned aircraft systems operations; and

     UAS Academy to expand such efforts.

     than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall brief the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the House of Representatives on how the Department of Defense 
     intends to bolster security cooperation activities with 
     allies and partners at the C-UAS Academy, including an 
     identification of any shortfalls in resourcing or gaps in 
     authorities that could inhibit these security cooperation 
     efforts.
