US agencies establish coordination against drones in civilian airspace.
The Departments of Defense, Transportation, Homeland Security, Energy and Justice have signed a new memorandum of understanding to consolidate federal testing and deployment of anti-UAS systems in the US. The framework adds FAA safety risk reviews and coordination with the FCC, but the text of the MOU has not been made public.
The move suggests Washington is moving from an ad hoc response to a standing interagency process as unauthorized drone activity rises near military and sensitive sites. The primary constraint is deconfliction: blocking, takeover, or directed energy options must be incorporated without interfering with civil aviation, GPS, or communications.
