Annual Defense Bill Would Require DoD to Establish AI Vulnerability Disclosure Program (May 27, 2026) - VitalLaw.com

Additionally, the bill mandates the development of a framework to deploy AI systems within 30 days of their public availability. The NDAA is an annual defense policy bill that sets funding and policy priorities for the Department of Defense.

The 30-day deployment framework would apply to AI systems that are publicly available, meaning the DoD would need to rapidly adopt and field such systems after their release.

The 30-day timeline is notably aggressive compared to typical DoD procurement cycles, which often take years.
