Summary

Safeguarding the Homeland from the Threats Posed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act of 2022 This bill provides statutory authority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to authorize their personnel to act to detect, identify, monitor, track, and mitigate a credible threat that an unmanned aircraft system (i.e., drone) poses to the safety or security of certain facilities or assets. For example, DHS and DOJ may carry out a pilot program to evaluate the potential benefits of state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies taking actions to mitigate credible unmanned aircraft system threats. Additionally, DHS and DOJ must coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration before carrying out any action authorized by the bill to ensure the action does not adversely impact or interfere with safe airport operations, navigation, air traffic services, or the safe and efficient operation of the national airspace system.
