UAS Threat Disclosure Act
HR 9071, the UAS Threat Disclosure Act, requires the Director of National Intelligence to declassify all pre-May 2024 security assessments about drones made by or controlled by Chinese entities within 90 days. It directs the declassified information - including security reports and agency actions - to be published online and submitted to Congress. The bill specifically targets "covered unmanned aircraft systems," defined as drones produced or influenced by China’s government or Communist Party. This makes security findings about Chinese-linked drone threats publicly accessible, while allowing national security exemptions. The law affects public transparency regarding Chinese drone security risks but does not alter drone regulations or impose new restrictions.
