Recent field demos brought government, academia, and industry together to evaluate innovative C-UAS systems.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released a video package for broadcast including comments from Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas on the need for Congress to reauthorize and expand DHS Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) authorities.
S&T is partnering with the National Institute of Standards and Technology on test methods for evaluating first responders’ capabilities across the nation and around the world.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas released the following statement on the Administration’s Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) National Action Plan and legislative proposal.
S&T and its National Urban Security Technology Laboratory collaborated with federal and industry partners on a series of air domain awareness technology demonstrations in Montana.
S&T launched two unique efforts related to unmanned aircraft systems traffic management and air domain awareness.
S&T and NUSTL have been working with a coalition of partners (including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, and industry) for more than a year on Air Domain Awareness (ADA) efforts, culminating with a series of technology demonstrations that kicked off in April 2021.
The capability to detect, track, and identify aerial-based threats is more commonly known as air domain awareness.
We at S&T have a story to tell that includes cool technology and the best minds in government research and development coming together to keep our country, and the skies above it, safe.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are issuing an advisory guidance document to assist non-federal public and private entities interested in using technical tools, systems, and capabilities to detect and mitigate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The advisory is intended to provide an overview of potentially applicable federal laws and regulations, as well as some factors relevant to whether those laws may apply to particular actions or systems.
