DoD, Federal Partners Expanding C-UAS Collaboration In Homeland

Five United States federal departments announced on 9 November 2026 that they had agreed to coordinate the evaluation, testing and deployment of domestic counter-drone systems. The memorandum brings together the Pentagon and the departments of Transportation, Homeland Security, Energy and Justice, with the Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communications Commission advising on aviation and communications requirements. The participating agencies will share technical requirements and testing data, and the aviation regulator will assess potential risks to aircraft operations and navigation equipment. The White House Task Force to Restore American Airspace Sovereignty led the agreement.
