## Summary

**Assessing whether drones can strengthen coastal border security.** This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to prepare an assessment on using drones to improve U.S. coastal border security and to disrupt maritime and low-altitude drug smuggling. - Coastal and remote communities: Residents in remote, insular, and hard-to-reach coastal areas would get a focused analysis of how drone deployment might address trafficking corridors that affect their neighborhoods. The assessment maps where drones might be most useful or risky. - Federal agencies: The Secretary would consult heads of relevant federal departments and agencies to create a coordinated analysis of effectiveness, operational risks, and potential uses of drones for maritime interdiction. - Congress and oversight: The Secretary must submit the assessment to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs within 180 days. Lawmakers would receive documented options and risk information to inform future decisions.
