State authority for drone detection, geo-fencing and mitigation over critical infrastructure
What a state can do now that federal law lets trained state and local agencies act, with options for legislative language.
For: State legislators, homeland security and public safety officials
What the paper covers.
The federal SAFER SKIES Act lets trained state and local law enforcement detect, track and, with certification, mitigate drones. It does not tell a state which sites matter, who watches them, what is bought, or how data is shared.
The paper sets out options for designation, detection, mitigation, interoperability and funding. It is a discussion document, not legal advice or a finished bill.
Recommendations
- Designate critical sites and publish their protective perimeters
- Fund persistent, layered detection with active tracking, not RF alone
- Require state-funded systems to share a statewide common operating picture
