A series of mysterious drone incursions at Langley Air Force Base in December prompted a significant response from the U.S. government. The incursions, witnessed by base personnel, involved various uncrewed aerial systems of fluctuating size and configuration. While the drones did not display hostile intent, they posed a threat to flight safety and prompted the involvement of advanced assets like NASA’s WB-57F research plane. These incidents shed light on broader concerns regarding the vulnerabilities of military installations to drone attacks and prompted a reevaluation of defense strategies in the face of emerging threats. The situation underscores the need for enhanced counter-UAS capabilities to protect vital assets from potential risks.
