This bill requires the Secretary of the Army to study whether the Army National Guard should establish a "Drone Center of Excellence" at one of its training sites. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress evaluating the advisability and feasibility of creating this center. The report must address what functions the center would perform, including training and certifying drone operators, developing military strategies and tactics for unmanned aircraft, testing artificial intelligence for drone systems, and conducting large-scale drone exercises with other military units. The legislation does not authorize funding or mandate that the center be built, but rather directs a study to help Congress and military leadership decide whether such a facility would be beneficial and practical. This affects the Army National Guard and other military branches that might participate in training at the proposed center.
