Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act

Summary

The Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act gives owners and operators of designated high‑risk facilities—such as nuclear plants and key power substations—the legal authority to detect, track, and neutralize threatening unmanned aircraft, provided they complete a federal training and certification program. It also creates a grant program to help fund approved counter‑drone systems. The bill seeks to close a security gap and protect the nation’s bulk power system.
