Bill > HR4682

This bill, the Unmanned Aerial Security Act (UAS Act), prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from operating, providing financial assistance for, or entering into contracts for the procurement of certain foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), software operating systems associated with UAS, or systems for the detection or identification of UAS. The bill defines a "covered foreign country" as a country identified as a foreign adversary by the intelligence community or the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Secretary is authorized to waive the prohibition in certain circumstances, such as for national security interests or counter-UAS research and training. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress on the Department of Homeland Security's analysis of the threat posed by foreign-made UAS operating in the United States.
