A military base in New Jersey, named Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, has taken action against drone intrusions this year. These drones were trying to smuggle illegal items into a federal prison called FCI Fort Dix, located within the base’s boundaries. To stop these drones, the base has now put in place special countermeasures that can detect and block them. The War Zone, a military blog, was told about these new defenses by the base spokesperson, Kitsana R. Dounglomchan. He explained that there are strict rules about flying over the base — basically, if you don’t have permission, you can’t fly there.
Dounglomchan stressed how seriously they take this issue. Whenever a drone is spotted trying to enter the airspace illegally, they work closely with local police to handle it. Most of these drones end up being caught or found by the authorities. This problem isn’t just happening at the base; all over New Jersey, people have been reporting mysterious drones flying around. In fact, there have been thousands of these reports in just the last month.
This situation has led to some criticism of President Biden’s administration for not taking these reports more seriously at first. However, White House spokesman John Kirby addressed these concerns recently. He assured everyone that nothing unusual or dangerous has been found in the airspace above New Jersey or other northeastern states that poses a threat to national security or public safety.
This whole event highlights how technology like drones can be used in ways that pose new challenges for security and law enforcement agencies. It also shows how quickly measures need to be adapted to ensure safety and security in response to such threats.
