Jammers, interceptors, detection networks — the technology built to stop drones.
The Washington National Guard's 10th Civil Support Team trained for two weeks on Anduril's WISP sensor suite, a fused stack built to tell a drone from a bird before a counter-drone response begins — with World Cup security driving the timeline.
A drone carrying an improvised explosive device was found feet from a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane on the apron of Leipzig/Halle Airport. A bomb disposal robot removed the detonator, a DHL freighter struck an unknown object aborting its landing, and a counter-terrorism unit is treating the case as sabotage.
JIATF-401 awarded CACI a $500 million counter-drone ceiling on Thursday. The Office of Strategic Capital signed an $820 million conditional loan with Performance Drone Works on Friday. Both halves now answer to the same deputy secretary, and neither number is money out the door yet.
NTSB says military GPS jamming was active when a New Mexico medevac crew hit a mountain. The same notice covered drone altitudes out to 389 kilometers.
AT&T and Ericsson used three commercial 5G cell sites near AT&T Stadium to detect and track drones without radar or new hardware.
Quantum Cyber built its first interceptor drone in Bridgeport, CT. In February the Nasdaq company was Mainz Biomed, selling cancer tests.
Israel Aerospace Industries has rolled out HYPNOSIS, a soft-kill counter-drone system built to jam and spoof satellite navigation across multiple GNSS bands instead of shooting threats down. The launch sharpens the cost argument for electronic warfare, but the unanswered questions on price, range, and real-world limits are still the important ones.
Axon Vision says its new ForceField system detected, tracked and destroyed FPV drone targets in live-fire trials, but the public footage raises a harder question: were the targets really fast FPV drones or slower camera aircraft?
One email with the drone news that matters — DJI, FAA, public safety, and everything in between, straight from the newsroom. No spam, no fluff.
