We urge the Army to take the next practical step and allocate $20 million out of last year’s budget reconciliation package’s $500 million for 'development, production, and integration of' counter-UAS funding to sustain and expand CCIC activities executed by Troika Solutions’ Accelerated Capabilities Team (ACT), in direct partnership with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center (DEVCOM AC) at Picatinny Arsenal and the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum.

The letter asks the Army to allocate $20 million for counter-UAS work to support and expand CCIC activities at Fort Drum and Picatinny Arsenal.

Evidence

Stefanik and co-sponsors asked the Army Secretary to allocate $20 million from the Army's counter-UAS funding to sustain and expand CCIC activities at Picatinny Arsenal and Fort Drum.

This is the exact action behind the claim, but it is a request letter rather than proof that the $20 million was actually secured.

Stefanik said she voted to advance the FY27 NDAA out of committee and highlighted Fort Drum-related counter-UAS modernization provisions, while noting the House version still had to go to the full House.

Within the lookback window, she advanced related defense-bill provisions, but the source does not show the specific $20 million CCIC funding was enacted or secured.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

On February 26, 2026, Stefanik and co-sponsors formally asked the Army Secretary to allocate the specific $20 million for CCIC work at Fort Drum and Picatinny Arsenal, and on June 5, 2026, she highlighted related counter-UAS provisions advanced in the House Armed Services Committee's FY27 NDAA. That shows a serious, direct effort and some legislative movement, but the record provided does not show that the $20 million was actually awarded, enacted, or otherwise secured. Because the promised funding outcome is not yet proven and the effort appears ongoing while she remains in office, the best current judgment is unresolved rather than delivered.
