Federal Departments Coordinate to Mitigate Unauthorized Drone Threats
Five federal departments have signed an agreement to coordinate the testing and deployment of counter-drone technologies, aiming to address unauthorized drone threats without disrupting civilian aviation operations. The agreement establishes a framework for testing and deploying counter-drone systems while limiting risks to civilian aircraft, communications, and navigation equipment. The FAA will play a central role in evaluating proposed technologies and determining whether adequate safety protocols and airspace coordination measures are in place.
