Plain-English Summary

This bill would close a gap in federal aviation rules that currently allows military aircraft to avoid installing the same collision-avoidance tracking systems that commercial planes must use. The change would make military planes broadcast their location to air traffic control and other aircraft just like civilian flights do, improving safety in shared airspace. The bill affects the Department of Defense and military aviation operations.
