Part 6/7:
A Call for Strategic Action
The discussion culminated in an urgent call for a consolidated effort across federal agencies to tackle the drone issue with a "whole of government" approach. The speaker stressed that allowing the Department of Defense to leverage its technological resources on domestic soil could prove pivotal in addressing current challenges. The concern that U.S. technology is being handed over to overseas entities, such as funding drone technology advancements in Ukraine while failing to fortify domestic capabilities, was notably highlighted.
