By Lauren C. Williams Apr 21, 2021 The Army is putting its new counter small unmanned aerial systems strategy to the test with its first demonstration at Yuma Proving Ground, focusing on how to limit damage when facing direct threats. Leland Browning, the deputy director for the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO), said the Army has completed its first small drone demo, testing intercept capabilities from three different platforms. This first demonstration, which was a joint effort between the JCO, Army and Air Force, was designed to look at "low collateral effects intercepted capabilities, which are defined solutions that defeat small UAS in an environment that requires minimal minimum collateral damage for the surrounding environment," Browning told reporters April 16.
