Raising even more questions, a similar swarm drone event has occurred off another coast, as well. There were strange events around the Channel Islands in July of 2019. swarms of unidentified drones were operating around U.S. Navy vessels In many instances, the drones flew close to the ships. The ships deployed emergency security teams because of the behavior. The Navy appears to have drilled and implemented a variety of counter-drone techniques. This included the deployment of thedrone restricted access using known ew platform. The DRAKE system allows sailors to use radio frequencies to interrupt the control of drones. The DRAKE system appears to have been used in one of the incidents. It's not clear where the drones were operating or who was controlling them. The Navy was able to identify the objects as drones without the questions being fully answered. The Department of Defense has acknowledged the swarm events just off the U.S. shores. It isn't a future threat. In the last three years, there have been significant drone swarm events that have not been reported to the public. The United States is not well-equipped to detect, identify, and counteract such threats. It is not known what level of priority these issues will receive by lawmakers. The confirmation that adversaries are operating swarms among America's most powerful weapons in training areas where their most sensitive capabilities are put to use should make national headlines, but because it was buried in sensationalism, it did not.
