SUMMARY

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has urged for enhanced federal drone defense measures following drone sightings in the Northeast in late 2024. In her letters to President Trump and congressional leaders, she expressed concerns about the current inadequacies in federal response to unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Hochul emphasized that recent drone activity, particularly in New Jersey, highlights the need for better detection and mitigation capabilities. Citing a successful Ukrainian military drone attack, she warned of potential threats to military and critical infrastructure in New York.
