Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act

The Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act would reauthorize and reform federal authorities to detect, identify, monitor, track, and mitigate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that threaten critical infrastructure, airports, and public events. It affects federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, and the FAA, requiring them to coordinate on counter-UAS actions, maintain an approved list of detection and mitigation technologies (excluding those from certain foreign manufacturers), conduct research and training, and report on usage. The bill also mandates coordination to avoid adverse impacts on aviation safety, telecommunications, and national airspace, and modernizes drone safety statements while clarifying record retention and disclosure rules for counter-UAS operations.
