Congress seeks answers about rising drone activity over military bases

  • The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on Tuesday about rising unauthorized drone flights over 100 U.S. Military installations in 2024.
  • This event followed growing concerns that drone technology is advancing faster than counter-drone defenses, with roughly 350 drone sightings nationwide last year.
  • Defense officials reported that many bases lack effective drone detection, unsophisticated drones can evade jamming, and operating procedures for base commanders recently changed.
  • Rear Admiral Paul Spedero cautioned that current defenses are insufficient to fully protect the United States and offer only limited security for military bases, emphasizing the need for increased funding to maintain technological competitiveness.
  • Lawmakers stressed the need for comprehensive legislation to improve counter-drone technology and cited arrests of Chinese nationals surveilling bases as evidence of persistent threats.
