FBI ramps up counter-drone efforts as Patel warns of growing threats from criminals, terrorists
The Trump administration is ramping up its drone defense with an FBI training program at Alabama's Redstone Arsenal targeting criminal networks.
Patel said the bureau has invested significant time and resources this year into modernizing its capabilities to counter unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
