Plain-English Summary

This bill would give federal agencies and airport operators legal authority to detect, track, and disable unmanned drones (like commercial drones or those flown by hobbyists) that pose security or safety risks near airports and other sensitive facilities. The law would establish clear rules about when and how these counter-drone systems can be used while protecting people's privacy and preventing interference with legitimate drone operations. The measure affects airport security personnel, federal agencies, drone manufacturers, and the general public by clarifying what's allowed to keep airspace safe from potentially dangerous or unauthorized aircraft.
