Support and advance legislation to require the Department of War to develop a comprehensive strategy for the rapid deployment, integration, and scaling of unmanned and autonomous systems.

McCormick and Fetterman introduced the Unmanned Autonomous Systems Strategy Act, requiring the Department of War to develop a comprehensive strategy for rapid deployment, integration, and scaling of unmanned and autonomous systems.

McCormick backed a bill to require the Department of War to produce a strategy for accelerating unmanned and autonomous systems.

McCormick said he introduced the bipartisan National Commission on Robotics Act, which would create an independent commission to examine robotics, national security, competitiveness, supply chains, and workforce development.

Concrete legislative action in an adjacent robotics/autonomy area during the lookback window, but it does not itself require the Department of War to produce the specific unmanned-autonomous systems strategy in the claim.

The bill text says McCormick introduced the measure; it would establish the Commission on American Leadership in Robotics and direct reports to Congress and the President.

Primary bill text confirms serious legislative effort, but the measure is a commission bill rather than the specific Department of War strategy mandate described in the commitment.

McCormick's official Senate legislation page lists S.4633, the Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Strategy Act of 2026, with latest action: referred to Senate Armed Services.

This is direct same-term evidence that McCormick advanced legislation matching the unmanned/autonomous systems strategy promise. The listed status shows committee referral, not enactment, so it supports concrete legislative effort but not full policy delivery.

The same official page lists S.4930, requiring a Defense Secretary assessment and report on open-architecture unmanned-system command-and-control frameworks.

This later same-term bill is closely related to unmanned system integration and Department of Defense operations, but it is an assessment/report on command-and-control frameworks rather than the broader comprehensive strategy described in the promise.

The release says McCormick and bipartisan cosponsors introduced the National Commission on Robotics Act to evaluate competitiveness and recommend robotics policies.

This confirms concrete legislative action in robotics and autonomy policy during McCormick's Senate term. It is related to national security and deployment strategy but is broader than the specific Department of Defense/War unmanned-autonomous systems strategy mandate.

The bill text establishes a Commission on American Leadership in Robotics; it defines the relevant Secretary as the Secretary of Commerce.

Primary bill text shows the robotics commission bill would review robotics competitiveness and national security issues, but it is housed through Commerce and does not itself require the Defense Department to produce the specific unmanned/autonomous systems deployment strategy.
