Bill overview
This bill allows the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and Energy to use existing authorities to protect U.S. facilities from attacks using unmanned aircraft, such as drones. It specifically authorizes these departments to enter into contracts with other entities to achieve this goal. The bill also directs the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to update the Federal Acquisition Regulation within 180 days to accommodate these new contracting authorities. This aims to strengthen the nation's defenses against potential threats from unmanned aerial vehicles.
