The Seaport Security Act of 2026 aims to enhance the protection of seaports in the United States from the potential threats posed by unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones. The legislation recognizes the dual nature of drone technology, which can be beneficial for various industries but also poses significant risks to public safety and national security, particularly when used for criminal activities. The key provisions of the Act include a ban on operating drones over designated airspace above seaports without proper authorization.
