Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Creates a US-Ukraine group to speed up sharing of drone technology for defense.

This bill would create a new group to help the United States and Ukraine work together on advanced drone technology. This group would find, develop, and share unmanned systems. The goal is to boost both countries' defense capabilities.

What Would Change

Today, there is no official group dedicated to helping the United States and Ukraine jointly develop and share advanced drone technology. This bill would create such a group. It would require regular meetings and work on specific agreements to boost defense innovation and share unmanned systems over the next five to six years.

Key Provisions

Establishes a joint US-Ukraine working group within 90 days to explore sharing drone technology.
Requires the group to analyze Ukraine's combat experience with drones and identify useful Ukrainian drone systems.
Mandates the group to create defense trade agreements, including rules for sharing technology and intellectual property.
Prioritizes the co-development and production of effective Ukrainian-designed drones for use by both countries.
Requires regular reports to Congress on the group's progress and challenges.
Ends the working group after five years, with a possible one-year extension.
