S. 1443 would require the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with several federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense and Justice, to develop a unified strategy to combat threats from unmanned aircraft systems. The bill would require the agencies to submit the strategy to the Congress within one year of enactment and provide an annual update for the following seven years.
Based on the costs of similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing S. 1443 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2024-2028 period. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
