The U.S. Army has come up with an initial list of the best usable counter drone technologies to destroy or deter quadcopters and other unmanned systems that pose a threat to troops and bases overseas.
The service, which was tasked with overseeing the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office in November, has authorized seven defensive countermeasures out 40 systems "needed to primarily detect, access, and engage with enemy drones," it said in a release.
In January, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Ellen Lord announced that the Defense Department had established an office focused on addressing the growing challenge of targeting often-lethal adversary drones. The goal of the 60-person counter-drone team, led by Army Maj. Gen. Sean A. Gainey, was to determine the best systems for the task.
