The administration of US President Donald Trump says it is taking steps to expedite the use of counter-drone systems to address growing threats. Several United States agencies, including the Pentagon and the Transportation, Energy and Justice Departments, have signed a memo to evaluate counter-drone technologies and quickly deploy them to protect aviation safety and address national security concerns. But can new US task force stop weapons flow? "We're taking a proactive, whole-of-government approach to protecting American airspace from emerging 21st-century threats," said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. "By bringing all our federal partners together, we can strengthen our ability to combat rogue drone threats and keep the flying public safe."
