SEC. 2. REPORT ON RISKS TO GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED 
              POSITIONING, NAVIGATION, AND TIMING SERVICES.

    (a) In General.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
appropriate committees of Congress a report on risks to the Global 
Positioning System and associated positioning, navigation, and timing 
services.
    (b) Elements.--The report required by subsection (a) shall include 
the following:
            (1) A description of risks posed by a lack of access to the 
        Global Positioning System and associated positioning, 
        navigation, and timing services during a potential conflict in 
        which the United States involved or in the case of an attack on 
        a United States ally.
            (2) A description of risks to United States allies from a 
        disruption of access to the Global Positioning System and 
        associated positioning, navigation, and timing services 
        provided by the United States.
            (3) An assessment of each of the following:
                    (A) The capabilities of competitor countries,

                of Korea, to degrade or deny United States access to 
                the Global Positioning System and associated 
                positioning, navigation, and timing services during a 
                potential conflict with the United States or in the

                navigation, and timing capabilities, including space-
                based and terrestrial-based (including quantum sensing 
                technology) efforts.
                    (C) The ability of the Resilient Global Positioning 
                System (R-GPS) program of the Space Force to achieve, 
                not later than 10 years after the date of the enactment 
                of this Act, full capacity to provide Global 
                Positioning System resilience to existing United States 
                satellites.
            (4) A framework for developing a full-scale terrestrial-
