Reps. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif.; Don Bacon, R-Neb.; and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis. have proposed including a bipartisan measure in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act that aims to safeguard nuclear weapons systems from cyberattacks.

The proposed language would establish a new working group within the Department of Defense to inventory nuclear weapon systems that are potentially at risk and implement mitigation actions, Carbajal’s office said Thursday.
