  To authorize the Secretary of Defense to build capacity for counter-
                 unmanned aircraft systems operations.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Strengthening Counter-Unmanned 
Aircraft Systems Operations (C-UAS) Partnerships Act''.

SEC. 2. AUTHORITY TO BUILD CAPACITY FOR COUNTER-UNMANNED AIRCRAFT 
              SYSTEMS OPERATIONS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that military 
education and training (as defined in section 644 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2403)) has an important role in 
training foreign partners on counter-unmanned aircraft systems 
operations.
    (b) Additional Authority.--Section 333(a) of title 10, United 
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
paragraph:
            ``(10) Counter-unmanned aircraft systems operations.''.
