International industry association, the Security Industry Association (SIA) has established a counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) working group in April 2023 to actively support the work needed to accomplish the recommendations of the national action plan (set up by the Biden administration) and further educate and give authorities options to mitigate UAS attacks. This group collaborates with external organizations and recruit industry experts aligned with this goal; tracks and monitors supportive legislation; and identifies, educates and engages legislators.
The working group has authored a series of articles on important drone and counter-UAS topics, supports S.1631 the Safeguarding the Homeland From the Threats Posed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act of 2023, and has provided topic input for the US Department of Homeland Security speaker at the SIA National Capital Region Security Forum’s June 2023 counter-UAS event.
