In January, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched a new Program Executive Office  to speed the procurement and deployment of drone and counter‑drone technologies — aimed at staying ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

On this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology Podcast, Jeffrey Starr, CMO of D‑Fend Solutions  , breaks down what this new office means for advancing counter‑UAS capabilities in civilian airspace. We also explore DHS’s newly announced $115 million investment in counter‑drone systems to help secure America250 celebrations and FIFA World Cup 2026 venues.
