The growing threat of enemy drones has reached the halls of Congress, with lawmakers urging the Department of Defense (DoD) to accelerate the fielding of AI-powered counter-drone solutions.
A recent provision in a subcommittee mark for the fiscal 2025 defense policy bill highlights this concern. The legislation calls for department leaders to outline a comprehensive plan for resourcing, transitioning, and scaling "combat-validated UAS defeat capabilities" powered by artificial intelligence and making them readily available to conventional forces.
This push for faster deployment stems from growing unease about the Pentagon's pace in adopting advanced AI technologies to counter adversaries' increasingly sophisticated unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The recent conflicts in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and the Middle East have served as stark reminders of the destructive potential of drone attacks.
The legislation acknowledges the limitations of current counter-drone measures. Many rely on expensive, slow-to-replace systems that struggle to effectively neutralize larger UAS threats. Legislators highlight the critical role of software-defined technologies like AI and machine learning in developing adaptable counter-UAS capabilities that can stay ahead of evolving threats.
