Description
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is warning states to enhance their ability to detect and deter threats posed by drones.
The agency has opened up $ 250 million in new funding available through a grant program available to local governments to perchance counter-drone technology.
“Unlawful drones are not a future threat. They are a real and growing danger to our communities, critical infrastructure, and major public events,” said FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton. “Through this grant program, FEMA is enabling states and territories to build the capabilities they need to detect, identify, track and monitor drone threats before they can cause harm.”
