S. 2600 directs the Secretary of Defense to commission the Defense Science Board to study how the Pentagon should organize its digital solutions engineering efforts. The study will assess current organizational structures across the Defense Department and military branches, evaluate alternative approaches (such as creating a new agency, expanding existing ones, or consolidating functions), and recommend the optimal structure for managing software development, artificial intelligence systems, and digital technology projects. The Defense Science Board must deliver its final report to the Secretary by February 1, 2027, and the Secretary has 30 days to forward it to Congress with any comments. The bill does not specify funding amounts, but it requires the study to include transition recommendations covering implementation timelines, personnel changes, resource needs, and metrics for measuring success.
