Drone Safety Enhancement Act

This bill directs NASA to continue its research on drones (unmanned aircraft systems) and advanced air mobility, which covers passenger or cargo flights within and between cities using new types of aircraft. NASA would do this research together with the Federal Aviation Administration, other federal agencies, universities, and industry. The research would include drone traffic management systems and self-flying (autonomous) capabilities. Within 18 months of the bill becoming law, NASA would have to brief certain committees in the House and Senate on the progress of this research.
