Pierce Aerospace participated in the United States Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) technology demonstration, held July 24–25, 2025, at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Unmanned Technology Operations Center in Summit Point, West Virginia.
The event brought together senior leadership, component heads, senior government executives and select industry representatives for a high-level executive roundtable.
The company’s CEO, Aaron Pierce, said DHS Leadership took the time to engage with company representatives and learn about how Pierce Aerospace’s Remote ID systems can help the C-UAS mission. “We’ve been developing these capabilities since 2017 and this event marked a dramatic escalation in the seriousness with which senior government leaders are taking C-UAS,” Pierce said. “In the C-UAS stack, our ability to detect both drones and their operators is the primary and most common means of mitigating concerning drones and their operators. We can also help characterise airspace risks, enabling authorised end users to mitigate threat drones via complementary integrated C-UAS technologies.”
