A Qatar-based U.S. Air Force unit is equipped with a fleet of quadcopter and hexacopter drones meant to expand its base defense capabilities against unmanned aircraft.
Airmen in the 379th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron at Al Udeid Air Base operate the drone fleet as part of the squadron’s counter-small unmanned aerial systems program, or C-UAS.
“No longer can the military focus solely on the 360-degree defense of the base perimeter — defending the airspace is also necessary to fight in today’s contested environments,” the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing said, Military.com reported.
