Push for greater use of drones in U.S.

Published 9 December 2011

Several federal agencies want to see more drones deployed in the United States. DHS is the main federal agency to push for using UAVs in domestic missions. The Department of Justice, too, is working with aviation manufacturers and local law enforcement agencies to introduce drones to police and sheriffs departments. The Pentagon also wants to open more U.S. airspace for drone testing and deployment, as U.S. military and National Guard bases are hosting DHS drones.
