The Counter-UAS Authority Extension Act extends the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice's authority to protect certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft systems (drones) until September 30, 2028. This bill simply extends existing counter-drone authorities that were set to expire on September 30, 2025, giving these agencies three additional years to operate their drone defense programs. The legislation affects federal facilities and assets that these departments are responsible for protecting, though the bill text does not specify which particular locations or types of facilities are covered. The bill does not include any new funding provisions, as it only extends existing authorities rather than creating new programs or appropriating additional money.
