Legislation Could Mandate DOD to Review How it Categorizes Drones (Brandi Vincent, Nextgov)

December 16, 2021

Recently proposed legislation would require the Defense Department to review its official framework for categorizing drones—and establish whether terms used reflect up-to-date commercial unmanned aircraft system technologies.

The bill was introduced in the House on Monday by Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., and subsequently referred to the chamber’s Armed Services Committee. It might also see a path forward in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 2022.
