Special use airspace (SUA) is a type of special airspaces in the United States designated for operations of a nature such that limitations may be imposed on aircraft not participating in those operations. Often these operations are of a military nature.
Pilots should be particularly alert when flying in these areas. All activity within an alert area must be conducted in accordance with CFRs, without waiver, and pilots of participating aircraft as well as pilots transiting the area must be equally responsible for collision avoidance.

Not since a balloon crashed in Roswell, New Mexico have inflatable unmanned craft so dominated the American discourse. Alex Woodward and Andrew Feinberg sum up what we learned this week

When not referring to aviation, a National Security Area is a designated area temporarily placed under the command of the National Nuclear Security Administration.
A prohibited airspace is an area (volume) of airspace within which flight of aircraft is not allowed, usually due to security concerns. It is one of many types of special use airspace designations and is depicted on aeronautical charts with the letter "P" followed by a serial number.
