I was watching the new level1 show and yall were confused why the FAA was running the cameras at the boarder. I can help clarify that but it goes with some other things you were talking about in this show/ recently. Like the new drone piolet license, drone swarms, drones to track people, and drones at government building.
My information is from previous work experience first hand working on these programs, and I will only give out limited information. This link is to a pdf for Audit of the Department of Justice’s Efforts to Protect Federal Bureau of Prisons Facilities Against Threats Posed by Unmanned Aircraft Systems https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/20-104.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjp253X2bOJAxVbLTQIHTZ2PHwQFnoECCkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3JdfkTwd2Wa2DGnk7GMmBM this is from 2015-2020.
As you can see the start of this audit is 2015 and this was not the first or last of its kind. In response to these audits new defense systems and training regulations were funded not just for the DOC but as inter branch govermental organization.
The FAA is running the cameras at the boarder and some in prisons, and other government buildings because drones are deing deployed in various ways and systems. Federal prisons like the one in Florence Colorado use swarm drones when air space invasions happen( mainly people flying drones in with drugs). This includes larger drones for ai assistant swarm controll and can be fitted with net launcher, smaller drones for jamming, sometimes for remote hijacking and can be linked with nets. These are not only for stopping drones but also stopping helicopters and other aircrafts and tracking people amongst other things.
The new drone/air taxi piolet license is something that has been around internationally for awhile do to these audits, for different positions like search and rescue, drone team for escaped prisoners, and drone teams in the boarder patrol. This same base training/license is required, and is now applied to the civilian sector.
Recently yall have covered potential drone swarm attacks at different government facilities. Different facilities are already equipped and setup with different drone swarm configurations and drone capabilities depending on the facilities needed/legal guidelines.
I kept hearing yall say maybe in the future 3-5 years these things would be a thing, and some government contract hopeful is out there. Well it’s not in the future and sorry government contract hopeful that boat has passed.
