The Telegraph published a short, but informative article on the use of drones by ISIS this week. It is certainly worth a read and I’ll be addressing it in the August issue of the C-UAS Newsletter.
Islamic State fighters using drones with IEDs and spy cameras, says Pentagon
“Islamic State fighters are posing a growing threat to US and Iraqi forces by deploying small commercial drones armed with improvised explosives devices or spy cameras that can evade detection, according to the Pentagon. The threat led the Defense Department office charged with monitoring and countering improvised explosive devices to ask that Congress approve shifting $20 million to provide seed money for a counter-drone effort.”
