The Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program, established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, provides $500 million to enhance state and local capabilities to detect, identify, track, and monitor unmanned aircraft systems that pose threats to public safety and critical infrastructure.
In FY2026, $250 million was prioritized for the 11 states hosting FIFA World Cup 2026 events and the National Capital Region for America 250 celebrations. The remaining $250 million in FY2027 will expand eligibility to all states and territories for nationwide detection and response capabilities.
This program creates substantial market demand for AI-powered counter-drone technologies including radar-based detection, RF sensing, computer vision, acoustic detection, and AI-driven threat classification systems. While the grants go to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the funds are used to procure commercial counter-drone AI technologies from private sector vendors.
Companies developing AI-driven drone detection, tracking, classification, and mitigation systems should monitor this program as a major demand signal for their products.

FEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026.
