Presidential Determination No. 2023-05 of March 1, 2023
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section
303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended,
on Airbreathing Engines, Advanced Avionics Position
Navigation and Guidance Systems, and Constituent
Materials for Hypersonic Systems
Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense
Ensuring a robust, resilient, and competitive domestic
defense industrial base that has the capability,
capacity, and workforce to meet the hypersonic
warfighting mission is essential to our national
security. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, including section 303 of the
Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the
``Act'') (50 U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant
to section 303(a)(5) of the Act, that:
(1) airbreathing engines, advanced avionics
position navigation and guidance systems, and
constituent materials for hypersonic systems are
essential to the national defense;
(2) without Presidential action under section 303
of the Act, United States industry cannot reasonably be
expected to provide the additional investment required
to provide airbreathing engines and constituent
materials for hypersonic systems adequately and in a
timely manner; and
(3) purchases, purchase commitments, or other
action pursuant to section 303 of the Act are the most
cost-effective, expedient, and practical alternative
method for meeting the need for this critical
industrial production capability.
Pursuant to section 303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, I find
that action to expand the domestic production
capability for these supply chains is necessary to
avert an industrial resource or critical technology
item shortfall that would severely impair national
defense capability. Therefore, I waive the requirements
of section 303(a)(1)-(a)(6) of the Act for the purpose
of expanding the domestic production capability for
airbreathing engines, advanced avionics position
navigation and guidance systems, and constituent
materials for hypersonic systems.
