To promote the development, production, and deployment of secure and resilient Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to enhance United States national security and support the defense and resilience of Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region.
This bill aims to advance the development, production, and use of secure and resilient Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones, to strengthen U.S. national security and support Taiwan's defense and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
