Five departments sign a counter-drone pact that gives the FAA a safety review
The departments of Defense, Transportation, Homeland Security, Energy and Justice signed a memorandum of understanding to test and deploy counter-drone systems inside the U.S. under one process, after a surge of drone incursions over bases including Fort McNair. The FAA will run quick safety risk assessments of proposed systems and can restrict airspace if needed. The agencies did not release the memo's text.
