Congressman Pat Harrigan(@RepPatHarrigan):I’ve been warning about this since I came to Congress nearly two years ago, because a billion-dollar military installation can be vulnerable to a drone that costs a fraction of that. The Pentagon is now seeking $21 billion for drones and counter-drone capabilities, but the answer isn’t just spending more. We need layered defenses that can detect, track, jam, and destroy cheap drone swarms without firing million-dollar missiles at thousand-dollar threats.
