National Training Center for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act

Bill 119 hr 709, also known as the Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems Training Act, aims to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to address the growing threat of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the United States. The bill requires the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish training programs for individuals operating counter-UAS detection and mitigation systems.

Specifically, the bill mandates that the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security, in collaboration with the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, develop standards for initial and recurrent training programs or certifications for individuals operating counter-UAS technology. This training is crucial in order to effectively detect and mitigate potential threats posed by unauthorized UAS in the national airspace.

The bill emphasizes the importance of coordination between various government agencies in order to establish a comprehensive and effective training program. By setting standards for training and certification, the bill aims to ensure that individuals operating counter-UAS systems are properly trained and equipped to respond to potential threats. Overall, Bill 119 hr 709 seeks to enhance national security by addressing the emerging threat of UAS and ensuring that individuals responsible for operating counter-UAS technology are adequately trained and prepared to protect the public and critical infrastructure.
