FBI ramps up counter-drone efforts as Patel warns of growing threats from criminals, terrorists

The FBI launched a National Counter-UAS Training Center at Redstone Arsenal to counter unmanned aircraft threats.
The training center was created after a presidential executive order to modernize counter-UAS capabilities.
Officials say the center will help prepare security operations for major events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics.
Unmanned aircraft are described as increasingly exploited by criminals, terrorists, and hostile foreign actors.
The FBI says the center will support security operations for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics.
Patel emphasizes the need to modernize counter-UAS capabilities as drones pose a real-time threat.
The FCC added drones and components to its 'covered list' due to national security concerns.
The center aims to train law enforcement to legally detect and mitigate drone activity.
The initiative aligns with the National Defense Authorization Act passed by Congress this year.
The program is part of broader modernization efforts highlighted by FBI Director Kash Patel.
