Pentagon changes tune on ROTOR Act as House takes up legislation

Pentagon changes tune on ROTOR Act as House takes up legislation

The Pentagon shared concerns Monday about the Senate-passed Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act as the House is expected to take it up this week, despite having supported the bill in the upper chamber.

The Senate unanimously passed the ROTOR Act late last year, which is expected to require the military to use the Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast on routine training flights but not on sensitive military missions.
