Senator Eric Schmitt announced a series of major victories for Missouri in the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a sweeping defense package that will bolster Missouri’s military installations, strengthen its defense industrial base, and modernize how the Pentagon acquires cutting-edge technology.
“To effectively deter our adversaries and guarantee the safety and prosperity of our great nation, we must ensure our military has the resources and capabilities delivered on time to respond to today’s challenges,”
Schmitt said.
“This bill strengthens Missouri’s military installations and defense industrial base, unleashes competition and innovation, and ensures we remain the most lethal and capable fighting force in the world. Missouri, and the country, is stronger and safer thanks to this NDAA.”
