To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program to facilitate the development of certain traumatic brain injury diagnostics for members of the Armed Forces.

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to set up a pilot program within 180 days, called the "Warfighter Traumatic Brain Injury Diagnostics Project." The program would study devices that help diagnose traumatic brain injuries in service members, including during deployments and in combat zones, and would support the research, testing, and production of these devices. The Secretary could award grants to U.S.-organized entities working on such devices. The bill authorizes $5 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2029, ends the program on September 30, 2029, and requires a report to Congress within 90 days after it ends.
