Gregory Guillot provided insights into the alarming trend of drone activity, noting the growing concerns around the surveillance of sensitive capabilities at military facilities. \u201cLast year, we recorded 350 drone detections across more than 100 military sites, varying in security levels,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>He referenced high-profile cases from the previous year, including numerous Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) sightings at several bases in New Jersey, amidst rising reports of unusual drone activity in the region. A senior defense official expressed the Pentagon&#8217;s frustration with such occurrences, underscoring the ongoing challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Guillot pointed out that the current regulatory framework and limitations on countermeasures for UAS\u2014largely driven by flight safety and privacy concerns\u2014have created significant vulnerabilities that both known and unknown actors are capitalizing on. Notably, not all military commanders possess the authority to utilize weapons for defending their bases against drone intrusions; only about half of the installations are classified as \u201ccovered installations,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Section 130i of Title 10 of the U.S. Code specifically addresses the protection of certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nDefense Scoop: NORAD Commander Highlights Surge in Drone Incursions at U.S. Military Installations 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 (Northcom).
