It requires the Secretary of Defense to send Congress a yearly report on joint U.S.-Israel counter-drone work, progress made, and the threat from drones from Iran and groups backed by Iran. It also states Congress's view that the United States should expand joint research, information sharing, and training with Israel on counter-drone technology.
