Federal Agencies Unite To Mitigate Domestic UAS Threats
The US counter-drone task force, JIATF-401, has marked one year of operation, with senior officials from the FBI, DOD, and DHS meeting to discuss progress and future plans for mitigating domestic UAS threats. The task force aims to enable a national counter-drone surveillance network, with a focus on interagency collaboration and investment in counter-drone technologies. The initiative has already shown promise, with the detection of over 1,600 unauthorized drones and the seizure of over 700 systems during the FIFA World Cup. The task force’s efforts were first reported by DefenseScoop.
