JIATF-401's 2026 Counter-Drone Guide Is Out and Ready to Download

Joint Interagency Task Force 401 published its 2026 Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Quick Reference Guide on September 8, and it's free to download. The guide sets a common technical baseline for sensors, command and control, and intercept against Group 1 through 3 drones in deployed and homeland settings. It also includes a lessons learned section from real operations, so defensive tactics and training can adapt as fast as the threat does.
