Federal Agencies Coordinate Actions to Boost Drone National Security Measures

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have taken coordinated actions to enhance national security related to drones. These measures include expediting access to counter-unmanned aircraft system (UAS) technologies for state, local, Tribal, and territorial governments under the SAFER SKIES Act, and strengthening prohibitions against foreign-produced UAS and critical components deemed national security risks.
