The overarching issue is the absence of a cohesive, national-level strategy. The speaker emphasizes that existing measures lack a pervasive or preemptive stance—actions are reactive and limited. For instance, firing upon or intercepting drones over highly secured sites such as Langley Air Force Base or the CIA's headquarters would require clear, operational protocols to avoid unintended consequences.
Despite advanced technology available, such as electronic jamming or laser mitigation, the U.S. currently lags in deploying a comprehensive, layered defense system that includes alert mechanisms for civilians and an effective suppression capability for unauthorized drones.
