US EditionJIATF-401 Announces Zero-Tolerance Drone Policy After Base Incursions
Unauthorized drones flew in waves of 12–15 over Barksdale Air Force Base disrupting operations and triggering a shelter-in-place, with advanced signal tech resisting jamming, officials said.
- On March 9, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana was placed under a shelter-in-place order after a reported unmanned aerial system, but the order was lifted the same day despite unauthorized drone flights continuing nearly a week.
- Analysts said the incursions appeared to be probing defenses, as the confidential briefing document dated March 15 noted drones entered and exited to avoid locating operators and displayed advanced signal features.
- BAFB Security Forces observed waves of 12–15 drones over sensitive areas, including the flight line, with non-commercial signals, long-range control links, and resistance to jamming, and flights lasted around four hours each day.
- The FAA referred queries to the military while the Louisiana State Police assisted the probe; investigators are coordinating with federal and local law enforcement agencies as flying drones over the base is a federal crime.
- The incident threatens strategic assets at Barksdale Air Force Base, which houses long-range B-52 bombers and vital command-and-control of Air Force nuclear defense capabilities, while analysts expect continued unauthorized drone activity.
