Introduced·4/22/26

The Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act grants authority to critical infrastructure owners and operators to use counter-unmanned aircraft.

The Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to authorize private owners and operators of critical infrastructure facilities to use counter-unmanned aircraft system technologies to protect high-risk sites. This includes facilities like nuclear generating stations and key substations. The Act establishes a grant program for these entities to purchase, install, and operate approved counter-unmanned aircraft systems.
