S.4259

Blue Skies for Taiwan Act of 2026

Introduced·3/26/26

Promotes secure and resilient UAS supply chains in Taiwan to enhance U.S. national security and support Taiwan's defense.

The Blue Skies for Taiwan Act of 2026 aims to strengthen Taiwan's asymmetric defense posture by supporting the development, production, and deployment of secure and resilient Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The Act establishes a cooperative framework among the U.S., Taiwan, and regional allies to promote secure, PRC-independent UAS supply chains and enhance interoperability. It also creates a Blue UAS working group to assess Taiwan's drone production capacity, identify barriers to Taiwan's participation in UAS programs, and recommend improvements.
