Bill overview
The Increasing Competitiveness for American Drones Act of 2023 aims to boost the U.S. drone industry by establishing new regulations and processes for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). It requires the FAA to create a pathway for BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations, including risk assessment standards and remote pilot certification. The bill also creates a new office within the FAA to oversee UAS integration and establishes a certification unit to develop operational approvals. Finally, it extends existing programs and grants the Department of Transportation authority to issue exemptions for UAS operations, prioritizing safety and encouraging industry growth.
