Summary

A bill to require an interagency strategy for creating a unified posture on counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) capabilities and protections at international borders of the United States.

Plain-language summary

This bill requires federal agencies to work together and develop a unified strategy for detecting and stopping unmanned aircraft systems (drones) at U.S. international borders. The strategy would coordinate counter-drone capabilities and protections across different government agencies. The bill addresses gaps in how the federal government currently handles drone threats at borders. It is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for review.
