Guillot provided further insights into a troubling trend of drone activity that poses significant risks to military security. &#8220;The primary concern is the potential for detection and surveillance of sensitive capabilities at our installations,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;Last year alone, we recorded 350 drone incidents across over 100 military bases, encompassing various types and levels of security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Notable incidents from the past year included UAS sightings at several bases in New Jersey amid a growing pattern of mysterious drone activity in the region. A senior defense official had previously expressed the Pentagon&#8217;s frustration regarding these occurrences.<\/p>\n<p>Guillot highlighted that a complex regulatory framework and restrictions on countermeasures against UAS\u2014due to safety and privacy concerns\u2014have left U.S. installations vulnerable to both known and unknown threats. Additionally, he pointed out that not all commanders possess the authority to defend their bases using weapons against these drone incursions, with only about half of installations classified as &#8220;covered installations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This vulnerability is outlined under Section 130i of Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which addresses the protection of &#8220;certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nDefense Scoop: NORAD Commander Reveals Surge in Drone Incursions at U.S. Military Bases Submission Statement The commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (Northcom), Gen.
