In several parts of New York City, the first response to a shooting or other serious crime reported to 911 will soon be to launch a drone. The “Drone as First Responder” program will be tested in five NPYD precincts, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security […]
Criminals planning a robbery spree might want to start looking up at the sky before they make their moves. No, there are no caped crusaders swooping in, but local law enforcement is getting creative with an aerial approach to take suspects down. A crew of four suspects has been taken into custody in connection with a series […]
A seagoing vessel or aircraft approaching a warship of the U.S. — or any nation, for that matter — must identify itself or face what could be lethal consequences. Conventional spycraft take time to reach their target and can be immobilized before breaching a ship’s security. But what about a drone, quickly zipping above and […]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced last week the successful completion of a number of tests of a new drone prototype that might just change sea warfare as we know it. Called the Manta Ray because of its shape, the uncrewed underwater vehicle is currently under development by DARPA and Northrop Grumman. On May […]
It is not an exaggeration to say that President Joe Biden’s abysmal foreign policy record is beginning to rival that of fellow Democrat and former President Lyndon Johnson.

They could have been weather balloons, high-flying wildlife, misidentified military crafts, or — a more sinister possibility — drones or other spy equipment sent by our nation’s […]
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but in the case of the U.S. and China, the blatant imitation has often seemed much more sinister. Among the many things China has ripped off wholesale from the U.S., including the interstate system and a booming industry of cheap knockoffs of American products, one […]
That “pause” that we talked about yesterday didn’t last very long. Israel launched its anticipated retaliatory strike on Iran this morning, firing missiles into the city of Isfahan in the central part of the country. The location was probably significant because that is the site of Iran’s Natanz nuclear research facility as well as one […]
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is bristling after his failed missile attack against Israel over the weekend. He appeared at a military parade yesterday north of the nation’s capital and issued a stern warning to Bibi Netanyahu, saying that the “tiniest invasion” of Iran by Israel would result in a “massive and harsh” response from his […]
