NASA UAS Detection Act

This bill would allow the NASA Administrator and authorized NASA security personnel to detect, identify, monitor, and track drones that pose a credible threat to NASA centers or facilities on NASA property, including by intercepting the communications used to control the drones without prior consent. NASA would have to coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration, train personnel, identify and assess the risk to each covered facility, and use only technologies on a jointly maintained federal list. Records of intercepted communications would generally be kept no longer than 180 days, with exceptions for investigations or ongoing security operations. NASA would give Congress briefings every six months, and the authority would end on September 30, 2031.
