Provisions
Sanctions on Syria by the US were lifted with the repeal of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act. [1] [2] The AUMF Against Iraq of 1991 and AUMF Against Iraq of 2002 were also repealed. [3]
There are several provisions on drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). [4] It centralized military counter-UAS efforts under the Joint Interagency Task Force 401, which coordinates strategy, validates counter-drone systems, and oversees procurement. [5] It directed reviews and investments to strengthen the domestic small-UAS industrial base and broadened military authority to protect additional installations. [6] [7] And through the SAFER SKIES Act, it further extended counter-drone authority to federal and, with training and oversight, state and local law-enforcement agencies, and increased penalties for drone-related crimes. [8]
For the fifth year in a row, Congress included provisions on unidentified flying objects (UFOs), also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). They force retroactive and ongoing disclosure to Congress of UFO intercepts by NORAD and NORTHCOM, centralize all UFO data under AARO, and expose classification rules that have previously shielded such encounters from oversight.
