Gregory Guillot.<\/p>\n<p>During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday, Guillot provided further insights into the significant challenges posed by recent drone activities. &#8220;The main concern regarding these operations is their ability to detect and potentially surveil sensitive capabilities at our installations,&#8221; he noted, revealing that there were 350 reported drone detections at various military bases last year, spanning over 100 installations of differing security levels.<\/p>\n<p>Notable incidents from last year included sightings of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at multiple bases in New Jersey, coinciding with a surge of reports concerning unexplained drone activity in the region. At that time, a senior defense official expressed the Pentagon&#8217;s &#8220;frustration&#8221; over such occurrences.<\/p>\n<p>Guillot explained that a complicated regulatory framework and restrictions on UAS countermeasures, driven by safety and privacy concerns, have created &#8220;significant vulnerabilities&#8221; that can be exploited by both known and unknown entities. Additionally, he highlighted that not all military commanders possess the authority to defend their bases against these drone threats; currently, only about half the installations are classified as \u201ccovered installations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The issue falls under Section 130i of Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which addresses the protection of \u201ccertain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nDefense Scoop: NORAD Chief Reports Surge in Drone Incursions at U.S. Military Bases Submission Statement The Pentagon is calling for enhanced technology and broader authority to address the increasing number of drone incursions at U.S. military installations, according to the commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command, Gen.
