S 4768 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to provide for a requirement for networked autonomous kinetic capability against small unmanned aircraft systems.

This bill directs the Secretary of the Army to develop a system that automatically detects and neutralizes small drones threatening ground military units. The proposed system must use sensors to track threats and employ autonomous weapons to intercept them with little human input, while connecting various vehicles through a shared network to share data instantly. It also requires that these capabilities work together seamlessly across different parts of a combat brigade and mandates a report to Congress detailing the necessary technology and a timeline for implementation between 2028 and 2032.
