"There's no silver bullet for counter-UAS. There's just not, Ross said last month at a media roundtable. If there was, we would already have it, he added. Our formations must be able to detect, track, identify, and defeat these systems anywhere on the planet, Ross said. This requires us to layer our defenses by integrating sensors with kinetic and non-kinetic effectors and battle management systems into a responsive, interoperable network."
"The task force was created last fall to expedite counter-drone technologies across the Department of Defense, replacing the Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office, which was established in 2019. Since its establishment, the task force has assessed and contributed to the US military's counter-drone arsenal, including forces at home and abroad."
Joint Interagency Task Force 401 was created to accelerate counter-drone technologies across the Department of Defense and to replace the 2019 Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office. Stopping small uncrewed aerial systems requires a mix of kinetic options and electronic and non-kinetic solutions rather than a single weapon. The task force has assessed and contributed capabilities to the US military’s counter-drone arsenal at home and abroad. Faster, simpler processes for testing, procurement, and interoperability across services are necessary to field layered sensor, effector, and battle management networks globally.
