New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that federal authorities are taking action to address the recent surge in unexplained drone sightings in the state. The mysterious drone sightings have been a cause of concern for residents in New York, New Jersey, and other areas for over two weeks, with no official explanation provided by the Biden administration.
Gov. Hochul revealed that in response to her requests for additional resources, federal partners are deploying a cutting-edge drone detection system to New York State. This advanced system is expected to assist state and federal law enforcement agencies in their investigations into the drone sightings. The Governor expressed gratitude to the Biden Administration for their support but emphasized the need for further assistance from Congress.
The deployment of the state-of-the-art drone detection system is seen as a crucial step in addressing the ongoing drone-related concerns in the region. Gov. Hochul highlighted the importance of passing the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act to provide New York and other states with the necessary authority and resources to effectively respond to such situations.
The move to enhance drone detection capabilities comes as authorities work to ensure the safety and security of residents in the face of the unexplained drone activities. With the support of federal partners and potential legislative measures, efforts are being made to address the challenges posed by the recent surge in drone sightings.
