Bill overview
The DEFEND Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct annual assessments of terrorism threats posed by the malicious use of unmanned aircraft systems (drones) by designated foreign adversaries, including terrorist organizations. These assessments will analyze methods, trends, and technologies used by these adversaries, evaluate risks to the U.S. homeland, and consider emerging technologies and potential vulnerabilities. The Act also mandates training and collaboration with private sector experts to enhance domestic preparedness and response to drone-related threats.
