The US Department of War, through Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401), has awarded DroneSec a contract to provide intelligence products and threat analysis on adversary uncrewed systems, supporting US efforts to identify, understand and counter emerging drone threats.
Under the agreement, DroneSec will provide intelligence on emerging uncrewed technologies, procurement networks and the tactics, techniques and procedures used to develop and deploy weaponised drones.
The agreement will integrate adversary threat intelligence into capability development and operational planning, helping improve situational awareness and align countermeasures with the threats faced by military personnel.
JIATF-401 will also use DroneSec’s open-source intelligence (OSINT) and uncrewed systems threat intelligence capabilities to improve visibility into the global UAS threat landscape. The information is intended to help identify emerging threat trends and inform the development of integrated, layered C-UAS solutions.
The contract forms part of JIATF-401’s broader effort to combine industry intelligence with operational C-UAS capabilities to address evolving drone threats.
