The Invisible Shield: Counter-UAS Technologies Protecting Our Skies in 2026
At 2:47 PM on a Sunday in October 2024, a small drone breached the perimeter of a packed NFL stadium, hovering dangerously close to 70,000 spectators before security teams neutralized the threat. This wasn’t an isolated incident—it was one of 2,300 similar incursions at professional sports venues that year alone. The global Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems
