Drones, Bombproof Security, and World Cup 2026: The U.S. Bets Big on Airspace Protection
The U.S. government is pouring funds into anti-drone tech ahead of the 2026 World Cup. DHS allocates 115 million dollars to deploy advanced systems, while FEMA earmarks 250 million for drone countermeasures in host states. Officials say this marks a major step in protecting airspace at both borders and inland areas as millions gather and billions watch. Defense contractors are racing to develop tracking, laser, and autonomous defense solutions, though specifics for stadium deployments remain undisclosed.
