U.S. and Canada Team Up on Border Drone Detection

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has run joint exercises with Border Patrol and Canadian authorities to improve drone surveillance along the shared border. The problem is straightforward: agents can only monitor their own side and lack time to intercept fast drones. Recent smuggling operations using drones across the Niagara River exposed the gap. A new bilateral framework allows real-time information sharing between countries to address the blind spot.
