Moran to Introduce Legislation After Reports of Unidentified Aircrafts Hovering Over U.S. Military Base | 2024-10-16 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Republican | Senate | KS | Jerry Moran | M000934 | www.moran.senate.gov | moran | https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today announced that he will introduce legislation following reports of unidentified aircrafts hovering over a U.S. military base: "As drone technology continues to evolve, the tactics used against the United States grow more alarming each day. The recent reports of unidentified aircrafts hovering for 17 days over a U.S. military base without intervention is not just concerning, but an affront to our national security. This violation of our airspace highlights the threat of below-the-threshold activity that hostile actors can pose to our nation. "Military leaders currently lack the authority to engage until there is an imminent threat posed to our men and women in uniform. I am working on legislation to provide the Department of Defense with the necessary authorities to engage drones or unidentified aircrafts that breech our military airspace before it is too late to respond.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
