Federal Agenda 2019 HUNTSVILLE/MADISON COUNTY CHAMBER, ALABAMA
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ALABAMA CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION AND THEIR STAFF: We are grateful to the members of the Alabama Congressional delegation for their leadership on the issues critical to the Huntsville/Madison County region, especially those impacting our Nation’s defense and space policies. With our delegation’s support, our region continues to prosper as a science and technology powerhouse. Our Federally focused business community functions best with predictable and dependable funding for federal programs. The two-year spending agreement that Congress enacted to counter the Budget Control Act expires in 2020, and without additional congressional action, the caps will revert to their prior lower levels for the final two years they are in place – FY2020 and FY2021. If the budget caps are not rescinded for fiscal 2020-21, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated Pentagon allocation could fall by $90B in 2020 and a further $89B in 2021. The combination of sequestration and unpredictable funding timelines has created significant challenges for industry planning: New contracts cannot move forward, and costs and schedules are, in turn, driven up and out. Small businesses are particularly at risk when delays deprive them of necessary revenue to maintain operations. We request that our members vigorously support efforts to eliminate sequestration, and continue with efforts to pass appropriations bills in a timely manner, thus avoiding the implementation of a continuing resolution. We ask that Congress support the Administration’s stated objective of a $750B top line for Defense spending, and continue its efforts to increase, across the board, overall funding for science and technology, and advanced research and development programs. We ask that Congress support full funding for our nation’s space exploration programs. We believe that implementing a responsible and transparent method of Congressionally directed appropriations, or earmarks, would restore the Constitutional “power of the purse,” bring more lawmakers to the negotiating table, and make federal spending more responsive to the taxpayers’ needs. Care should be exercised to ensure that the synergies of the existing weapons systems development science and technology infrastructure, capabilities, and resources resident at Redstone Arsenal are fully utilized by the Army’s Futures Command. Huntsville/Madison County has prided itself with its proactive approach to infrastructure development. Average local commute times are a fraction of those in Washington, D.C., and other peer cities. Continued burgeoning economic expansion, however, will soon challenge our existing infrastructure’s capacity and our ability to accommodate further growth. Investments now in key infrastructure including new and improved roads, upgraded air service and airport facilities, and workforce development will be critical. As the Congress prepares to consider legislation to address our national infrastructure needs, the Huntsville region has shovel-ready, worker-ready, high priority projects. Serious cyber engineering and security vulnerabilities are a prevalent and growing threat to our national security today. Cyber risks can undermine the quality and reliability of vital equipment and processes upon which this nation relies for national security dominance and daily services. Cyber engineering should become a vital part of the system engineering development enterprise. The convergence of Federal, State, local governments, and industry located in Huntsville make it an ideal place to lead this systemic cyber engineering effort and to develop cyber defense solutions, and workforce development and training. The highly skilled and educated workforce of Huntsville/Madison County is one of the most important factors in our continued growth across industry sectors, from engineering to manufacturing. We must effectively compete in key skill sets on a national level for talent that is in short supply. Federal support is critical to improve education and career pathways to ensure we have the future workforce to support the work of Redstone Arsenal and the regional economy. Another factor contributing to critical worker shortages are the long delays obtaining security clearances for new hires. This Agenda summarizes the most critical federal issues facing our region. Additional information regarding these issues and a number of other important federal programs and issues that have significant local and national impact is included in an accompanying 2019 Federal Issues Book.
THANK YOU FROM THE HUNTSVILLE/MADISON COUNTY CHAMBER

Support FBI Master Plan for Redstone
Cybersecurity
As part of its twenty-first century facilities initiative, the FBI has been appropriated funding to repurpose and renovate existing space in FBI buildings across the country as well as construct new facilities at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. These projects enable the FBI to realign functions from the National Capital Region (NCR) along with creating Centers of Excellence amongst FBI Divisions performing complimentary missions. At Redstone Arsenal, the U.S. Army has been an excellent partner and has permitted the FBI over 1,600 acres of land; land the FBI has used to enhance operational, operational support, technology, training, and research and development capabilities and capacities.
National Impact: Redstone Arsenal and the Tennessee Valley are known nationwide as a federal center of excellence for cyber security research, development, and engineering. These capabilities are critical to the protection of industrial, educational, financial and strategic defense resources as well as critical public infrastructure and systems. A growing FBI presence brings new opportunities for Redstone Arsenal tenants and industry partners to collaborate and achieve comprehensive defenses against a variety of threats. Our cyber workforce must grow both in capacity and capability to satisfy existing and growing cyber workforce demands. High quality, innovative educational and training capabilities must be further enhanced to sustain the dynamic and evolving technical workforce training, skills, and associated stateof-the-art support structure to defend against cyber threats. Government and industry must expand and enhance established forums and facilities to capture and share the lessons learned from the growing body of knowledge resulting from persistent cyber attacks as well as help shape regulatory, privacy, and ethical considerations.
Over the past few years, the FBI has completed a number of projects at Redstone Arsenal with most contributing to the FBI’s efforts to create a Counter-IED Center of Excellence. Projects such as the transfer of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) from a garage in Quantico, Virginia, to world class facilities at Redstone; the creation of new buildings and training villages at the Hazardous Devices School (HDS); the formation/modernization of several explosives training and research ranges; the relocation of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD) training courses; and the construction of a Ballistic Research Facility (BRF). Additionally, the FBI has been focused on strategically identifying functions for realignment from the NCR which will continue to address mission needs and support resiliency and continuity of operations. This winter, the FBI began construction of an Operational Support building which will house approximately 1,350 personnel to fulfill those needs. The FBI also plans to leverage the technologically-rich environment in northern Alabama, and has created several cyberrelated programs and initiatives such as: the National Defense Cyber Alliance (NDCA) which creates a two-way information sharing environment with the cleared defense contractor community; the Tennessee Valley Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (RCFL) which provides digital forensics capabilities in support of a myriad of national security and criminal investigations; and the Redstone Interim Training Center (RITC) to facilitate cyber and other advanced training needs. As funding becomes available, the FBI would like to continue to expand in all of these areas, however, the most important aspect of the FBI vision is cultivating current partnerships and identifying and creating new ones. National Importance: The FBI’s Master Plan for Redstone focuses on providing increased capabilities and capacities needed to address current and future national security and criminal threats. The northern Alabama area, and Redstone Arsenal in particular, offers numerous advantages to the FBI such as secure locations to conduct investigative and administrative operations, lower overall business costs, ample opportunities to leverage existing science and technology knowledge and capabilities, proximity to leading universities and colleges, and a favorable quality of life for its employees. Community Importance: The growth of the FBI will have a positive impact on both Redstone Arsenal and the Huntsville-Madison County metropolitan area. In addition to bringing new government and contract job opportunities, the expansion plan will also create opportunities for local service suppliers and vendors. Requested Action: Continued funding for the FBI’s Master Plan for Redstone Arsenal.
Community Impact: The Tennessee Valley must explore and engineer new methods and partnerships to fulfill the need for highly technical professionals and skilled workers. A progressive, complementary approach evolving in Huntsville includes initiatives established at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, the Alabama School for Cyber Technology & Engineering, and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s U.S. Cyber Camp. These initiatives open a progressive path to developing the desperately needed cyber and STEM professionals and technicians. Creative education and training coupled with forums for advanced learning and sharing like the recently established National Defense Cyber Alliance (NDCA) will provide defense contractors immediate access to critical information related to cyber threats and attacks. Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal are in a unique position to exercise and operationalize the entire cyber ecosystem, from education and training for the next generation of cyber and STEM professionals to ensuring the right skilled workforce to safeguarding and developing a cyber enabled set of capabilities for national and economic security. With the additional funding that is being requested, measurable progress can be made to shape and realize the capabilities and the workforce that will be required in the future. Requested Actions: • Increase PEO Missiles & Space and PEO Aviation funding for cyber security, cyber electromagnetic effects (CEMA), and supply chain security analyses in support of missile systems, aviation and unmanned aerial systems. • Provide funding to enhance the National Defense Cyber Alliance. The Alliance has created an aggregated collection of cleared defense contractor artifacts that are evaluated across the full spectrum of attack vectors. The results are a more resilient and hardened supply chain for government. • Increase FBI’s Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory network to allow for expanded facilities which will work across Law Enforcement Agencies to provide enhanced forensics analysis. • Increase STEM-Outreach funding to support the development of curriculum for the Alabama School for Cyber Technology and Engineering. • Increase STEM-Outreach funds to advance curriculum for the U.S Cyber Camp supported by The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).

NSA-CAEC and cyber defense education team (UAH) Through these funds NSA develops a technically advanced workforce as well as advanced research facilities.
Hypersonic Strike & Defense National Impact: Due to the recent demonstrations of Hypersonic Strike Capabilities by near peer adversaries, the Department of Defense is intensifying its focus to ensure the United States has an initial hypersonic strike capability by the early 2020s and a long-range air breathing deep strike capability by 2028. The Department’s sense of urgency is reflected in the recent National Defense strategy and echoed by numerous senior DoD officials. Hypersonic weapons offer tactical advantages within the broader strategic options against near peer competitors. Weapons traveling at greater than 5 times the speed of sound offer the potential for military operations from longer ranges with shorter timelines and enhanced effectiveness compared to current military capability. Due to the rapid evolution of Hypersonic threats, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) was directed by FY17 NDAA to create a Hypersonic Defense program. As stated, the rapid pace of development coupled with the complexity has elevated the priority of this mission. The January 2018 National Defense Strategy lists the hypersonic threat as a top priority because of their speed, maneuverability, range and capability of being employed against our BMDS. In response, the MDA published two Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Special Topics (Concept Development and Component Technology Development) in April 2018 to expeditiously address the hypersonic threat and enable the USG to maintain superiority against the advancing threat. MDA is exploring its ability to provide capability over the next decade, while expanding upon capability against advance threats beyond 2030. Community Impact: The Air Force Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon is managed by Lockheed Martin, and the Army’s new Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon is led by Space and Missile Defense Command. These programs provide positive impact to the Huntsville community through the creation of new jobs the design, development and integration, and modeling and simulation, algo-

Biosciences Federal funding for research has made the United States the global leader in scientific breakthroughs and innovation. With many countries increasing commitments to scientific research, the United States must continue to make research, development and innovation a national priority. Discoveries and advancements due to past federal funding have resulted in positive benefits to our nation’s population as well as to the global community. These advancements include products, technologies and services that save lives, improve agricultural practices and generally enhance daily life. Prioritizing research in the biosciences also fosters private sector innovation, frequently moving these discoveries more quickly into application. Driving innovation and economic impact, many entities contribute to the continuing growth and success of this sector. Among these are the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Eurofins, Alabama A&M University, Nektar, Calhoun Community College, Discovery Life Sciences, Oakwood University, CFD Research and Aviagen. These organizations contribute to the economy and employ thousands of Alabamians. North Alabama is home to Cummings Research Park, home to the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. HudsonAlpha has created an ecosystem co-locating nonprofit scientific researchers with entrepreneurs and educators. The relationships formed on the HudsonAlpha campus encourage collaborations that produce
page 3 advances in genetics, genomics, biotech education, medicine and agriculture. Additionally, there are over 35 diverse biotech companies on campus, ranging from the entrepreneur-led to the globally recognized. Since inception, HudsonAlpha and the biotech companies that reside on campus have contributed more than $2B to the Alabama economy. Requested Actions: • The Chamber strongly supports increasing scientific research funding levels for the National Institutes of Health, with emphasis in the areas of generating and analyzing genomic data, the Department of Energy – specifically in the areas of genomic sequencing and informatics, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation. • Collaboration among organizations using federal funds should be encouraged. Funding increases in these areas have significant benefits to the human condition worldwide as well as economic benefits to the north Alabama region.
Support Army Aviation Programs and Aviation Science and Technology The Army’s ability to apply Aviation power is critical to the execution of the National Defense Strategy. Army Aviation is indispensable today and remains so into the future. A holistic approach to Army Aviation is essential. Current aviation programs must remain funded while still supporting the Future Vertical Lift Program as one of the six Cross Functional Team (CFT) priorities for the Futures Command and the Army. In addition, the key to maintaining today’s technological edge into the future is sustaining the aviation science and technology base. We must maintain our global leadership role in this complex scientific area. Community Impact: Alabama is the epicenter of Army Aviation. There are more than 13,000 jobs in Northern Alabama that directly support the Army Aviation portfolio. The collocation of the Program Executive Office, Aviation (PEOAVN), the Redstone Test Center (RTC), the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), and the Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) at Redstone Arsenal allows for the focused application of resources to maintain leadership in the Aviation arena. The full lifecycle of Army Aviation assets is managed at Redstone Arsenal. Resourcing these commands is critical for the long-term sustainment of the Army Aviation mission and for continued community growth. Requested Actions: • Assure a holistic approach to Army Aviation. Support continued full funding of current aviation programs for fielded systems while simultaneously resourcing the Future Vertical Lift CrossFunctional Team (FVL CFT). This assures priority readiness for aircraft conducting combat operations today while supporting the Army’s critical future priorities. • Increase and support Aviation S&T funding at a level that allows the Army to keep the current fleet technologically relevant as well as investing in Future Vertical Lift requirements. We cannot cede our Nation’s position in the world as the leader in Aviation science and technology for rotary wing and unmanned aviation systems.
2019 FEDERAL AGENDA
High Energy Laser Development National Impact: The evolving capabilities and quantities of rocket, artillery, mortar (RAM), and unmanned aerial system (UAS) threats have made it difficult to adequately defend both area formations and provide Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) defense for maneuver formations and other joint formations from these threats. The future Joint Force faces adversaries that have observed U.S. operations/technologies, and have adapted to counter U.S. strengths to exploit actual or perceived weaknesses. Negation of these low technology and large quantity (thousands) threats with traditional kinetic kill interceptors may be unaffordable. Current High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon systems will be able to counter multiple RAM and UAS threats with a single laser weapon system thus drastically reducing the “cost per kill” over conventional kinetic kill systems. Community Impact: Industry, Universities, and Government Agencies in the Northern Alabama area continue to develop, verify capabilities, and eventually field key components of USASMDC/ARSTRAT’s HEL efforts. As the technology matures further, economic benefits derived from laser development will be realized in the local community. Currently the HEL efforts provide more than 200 government and industry jobs in the Huntsville area with continued job growth expected to be above 1,000 jobs within the next five years. Requested Actions: • Fully support the Army and Missile Defense Agency funding requests for HEL development, to include the Multi-Mission High Energy Laser, High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demonstrator and Low Power Laser Demonstrator, so capabilities can be fielded in the near term. The first transition opportunities for HEL technology will be to the M-SHORAD and Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2-1 Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-1) Programs. • Fully support authorizing the Secretary of the Army to designate Redstone Arsenal as the U.S. Army Center of Excellence for High Energy Laser Research, Development and Acquisition which will provide management, oversight and execution for all activities affecting Army High Energy Laser research, development and acquisition, to include command guidance, investment strategies and the development, implementation and execution of the materiel development processes to support the Army in meeting its missions. • Fully support authorizing the Secretary of the Army to designate Redstone Arsenal as the U.S. Army Center of Excellence for High Energy Laser Research, Development and Acquisition.
Expanded Use Of Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACS) Limited-source Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACS) are intended to provide a simpler method for federal agencies to purchase commodity goods and services. Over 1,600 professional services task orders with a value of nearly $14B have been issued across the government on just one such contract – GSA OASIS. GSA rightly claims that OASIS awards to small business prime contractors have been substantial; however with only 129 small business primes the number of participating firms is negligible when compared to the number of small firms in the federal marketplace. National Significance: As with any large initiative, however, the success of OASIS has led to unintended consequences that have
page 4 the potential to substantially damage the small business industrial base in and beyond Alabama. As the reach of OASIS expands, firms that traditionally have served one market or one geographic region – common for many small firms – are increasingly unable to compete for new work or finding their existing work moving to a contract vehicle that is not accessible to them as a prime. The increasing popularity of these contracts is having a significant impact on hundreds of companies that simply can no longer compete for an ever-growing number of procurements. Viewed as a long-term phenomenon, use of limited-source vehicles will encourage additional rounds of industry consolidation at all levels of the service sector with the accompanying loss of competitive depth. The most significant impact, however, will fall on those small- and mid-sized firms that would otherwise be viable competitors for prime contracts procured as standalone acquisitions. The secondary effects arising from overuse of OASIS are considerable. Commercial banking, real estate, accounting, and legal and other sectors that for the ecosystem surrounding small business will likewise suffer. A recent report published in the Macon (GA) Telegraph on July 16, 2018, describes a substantial reduction in small business presence and activity associated with contract migration to OASIS at Warner Robins Air Force Base. The experience of our neighbors in Georgia is troubling and not something we wish to see repeated in Alabama or in any other state. GSA has initiated an “on-ramping” effort that will expand the number of prime contractors on several of the OASIS contract groups, or “pools” as they are referred to by GSA. While we applaud this step, the reality remains that even after increasing the prime contract count into the hundreds, thousands of capable small businesses who today are viable competitors for federal services work will be effectively locked out of much of that market. As a result, many of these companies will simply cease to exist. Community Impact: Healthy small businesses are critical for the continued growth and development of our national economy. The direct and indirect effects of widespread small business failures and consolidations will have a visible and immediate effect on communities and on the businesses that support small business. Commercial real estate, banking, financial services, legal services, and related sectors will suffer as their customers leave the market. While we recognize the value of streamlined acquisition of commodity goods and services, it is important for the government agencies to recognize when a good idea has been extended too far. We feel that is the case here. We are concerned about guidance from the Office of Management and Budget that essentially mandates use of OASIS for a large portion of federal professional services acquisitions and suggest that leaving the decision to use OASIS or not be left within each procuring organization. Requested Actions: • Encourage continued use of agency- or program-specific standalone acquisitions as a first option rather than reliance on limited source GWAC vehicles, particularly for procurements with requirements suitable for small business prime contractors. • Remove Office of Management and Budget guidance mandating use of contracts like OASIS for professional services procurements. • Encourage procuring agencies to evaluate the impact that limited source GWACs will have on the small business industrial base prior to committing to those contracts.
