Imposes various conditions on the Navy's development of open systems architecture for maritime unmanned systems, covering governance, industry involvement, and other topics.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding statutory provision enacted by the U.S. Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, imposing mandatory obligations on the Secretary of the Navy with specific deadlines and requirements.
This document has minimal risk domain coverage, with only subdomain 6.4 (Competitive dynamics) showing minimal coverage. The document primarily addresses technical architecture requirements for unmanned maritime systems rather than AI-specific risks. No other risk subdomains are substantively addressed.
This document primarily governs the National Security sector through requirements imposed on the Secretary of the Navy for unmanned maritime systems. It also has minimal coverage of Professional and Technical Services and Scientific Research and Development Services sectors through industry participation requirements in standards development.
The document primarily addresses the Plan and Design stage by establishing requirements for creating an open systems architecture. It also covers the Deploy stage through requirements for tailoring standards to Navy programs and contracts, and the Operate and Monitor stage through continuous feedback processes and governance models.
The document focuses on unmanned maritime systems with autonomous capabilities but does not explicitly define or distinguish between AI models, AI systems, or specific AI categories. The scope is technical architecture for maritime unmanned systems rather than AI-specific governance.
United States Congress
The document is Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, which is enacted by the United States Congress as the legislative authority.
United States Congress; Secretary of the Navy
