Mike Lee, one of my favorite senators, has introduced the Stopping Harmful Incidents to Enforce Lawful Drone Use (SHIELD-U) Act along with the Drone Integration and Zoning Act. I haven't seen these discussed here in detail yet.
You can read the text of the SHIELD-U Act HERE.
You can read the text of the Drone Integration and Zoning Act HERE.
From the bill text it looks like it will create a demand for anti UAS technology and a new niche for contractors and UAS pilots. Anyone want to be a drone cop? Personally I think is a great way to get a much needed layer of technology and human talent added to our national defense. Just like in the days before WW2, pilots were drawn from the developing civilian air industry and met the need of a new dimension of warfare. We all know the USA is vulnarable to threats from this new technology, and we should catch up quickly. All future conflicts will include UAS components, and "everyone" should be familiar with this new dimension of technology. So put down those Switch remotes kids, and learn how to build and fly drones!
I can see state level air corps deveopling around UAS fleets, with whole new markets for skills and companies willing to invest in this opportunity. Who says joystick thumbs weren't useful for anything?
