The planned termination of the Department of Homeland Security's Centers of Excellence has been paused following advocacy from state senators, including Dan Sullivan from Alaska. These centers, NCITE and ADAC-ARCTIC, focus on developing technology to address national security issues, particularly in the Arctic region. Specifically, ADAC-ARCTIC has been involved in projects like expanding drone operations and supporting Indigenous communities. Conversations between Senators and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem appear to have led to the retention of funding for these centers, highlighting their strategic significance.

Following private discussions with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the plans to terminate the NCITE and ADAC-ARCTIC Centers of Excellence were paused, reflecting significant advocacy from state senators.
