Pentagon moves to harden base after drone strike alerts The Pentagon is reportedly ramping up measures to protect US bases at home and abroad after Iranian attacks hit facilities across the Middle East, while separate threats have targeted RAF Fairford and other sites in Europe. A recent Pentagon announcement seeks options for camouflage, signature reduction, distributed services, modular layouts and underground construction to improve installation survivability. The report points to a doctrinal problem, not just a procurement gap: low-cost UAVs and mixed-missile attacks force expensive fixed bases, parked aircraft and support infrastructure into a much less secure operating environment.
