S. 1388 · 118th Congress
UAS Integration Research Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

UAS Integration Research Act of 2023
This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enter into contracts to demonstrate or validate technology related to the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace system. The FAA must solicit proposals from applicants who describe a project that relates to a topic of interest identified by the FAA, demonstrate technical merit, and involve a contract with a test range.
The FAA must also identify topics of interest related to the integration of UAS into the national airspace, including detect and avoid capabilities, beyond visual line of sight operations, UAS traffic management, and UAS safety standards.
The bill also extends the authority for the FAA's UAS Test Site Program though FY2028. The program provides verification of the safety of public and civil UAS, operations, and related navigation procedures before their integration into the national airspace system.
