AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 6:30 AM UTC

The Accurate Data for Defense (ADD) Resiliency Act requires the Secretary of Defense to ensure that analytical tools used to evaluate energy‑resilience projects on military installations are accurate, cost‑effective, and easy to use. The tools must align with Department of Energy and commercial standards, be adaptable to new technology, undergo peer review, and be updated at least every three years. The law also mandates a report to Congress on how these requirements are being met.

Key Provisions

The Secretary of Defense must develop and implement a process to use analytical tools that accurately project costs and performance of energy‑resilience measures on DoD installations.
The tools must be usable without specialized training and produce data understandable to typical source selection officials.
The tools must be consistent with standards used by the Department of Energy and commercial industry, adaptable to rapid technological changes, peer‑reviewed for quality, and updated at least once every three years.
The Secretary must submit a report on implementation of these requirements to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees by September 30, 2022.
