No long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities
What the document says“None of the funds made available for the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act may be used to procure or acquire long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities or to equip any long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities.”
Section 219(b). No money for the department, in this Act or any earlier one, may be used to buy a long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities, or to add kinetic capabilities to one it already has.
What the document actually says“None of the funds made available for the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act may be used to procure or acquire long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities or to equip any long-range unmanned aircraft with kinetic capabilities.”
No money may buy a long range drone that can strike. No money may add that power to one.
The word kinetic means it can hit a target. The Coast Guard drones bought here watch and report. This rule covers the whole department.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
