The Senate Armed Services Committee advanced its fiscal 2027 defense policy bill with language that would fold the Space Development Agency and the Space Rapid Capabilities Office more directly into the Space Force acquisition structure.
If enacted, the provision would accelerate the Air Force Department's broader acquisition reorganization and could reshape how missile-warning, tracking, and rapid procurement portfolios are managed.
The measure aligns with language approved earlier by the House Armed Services Committee supporting an ongoing effort by the Department of the Air Force to reorganize acquisitions around Portfolio Acquisition Executives, or PAEs, who oversee mission-focused portfolios.
