The U.S. Secret Service operates a Chevrolet Suburban Premier equipped with counter-unmanned aerial systems technology. The vehicle, referred to as "Hindsight," is used to detect and mitigate suicide drones and loitering munitions during National Special Security Events.
The Suburban features an Axis Communications IP camera, radio-frequency antennas, and additional counter-UAS equipment. It also contains what appears to be a mobile command station. The vehicle was recently observed departing Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
ZeroHedge reported that fiber-optic drones discovered in Mexico cannot be jammed and may require kinetic countermeasures. The same report noted an alleged plot last month to use suicide drones against attendees at a White House UFC event. President Trump stated on Friday that he has been targeted for a long time and issued instructions for a strong response if an attack occurs.
The article also referenced broader government and industry efforts to protect airspace above critical infrastructure and noted recent acquisitions in the counter-drone sector.
