Amid Global Tensions, U.S. Should Ensure It Has Effective Counter-Drone Defense

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Pentagon must deploy counter-drone defenses at four U.S. military facilities within a year to address rising drone and electronic warfare threats, lawmakers say.

  • On June 1, 2025, Ukraine covertly inserted drones hidden inside trucks and remotely launched dozens of them against Russian military airfields.
  • This attack exemplifies how ongoing conflicts, including Ukraine and the Middle East, have accelerated threats from uncrewed systems to military and homeland security.
  • In response, the U.S. military is developing integrated counter-drone systems like Project Flytrap, and using land-based versions of the Navy's Phalanx air defense cannon to protect forces and bases.
  • A draft fiscal 2026 NDAA requires deployment of counter-drone defenses at four U.S. military-related facilities within a year to address growing drone and jamming threats.
  • These efforts suggest increasing congressional concern about adapting U.S. doctrine, training, and equipment to evolving drone warfare seen globally in recent conflicts.
