Coastal Drone Surveillance and Interdiction Assessment Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a comprehensive assessment to Congress within 180 days of its enactment. The assessment will evaluate the effectiveness, risks, and potential of deploying drones to enhance border security and disrupt maritime or low-altitude drug smuggling along the United States coastline. The Secretary must consult with relevant federal departments and agencies while conducting this review. It specifically focuses on major trafficking corridors and communities in remote or hard-to-reach areas, aiming to provide a detailed analysis for improving coastal surveillance and interdiction efforts.
