Less than a year since its inception, the #FBI's National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC), operated by #FBICIRG, has already trained and certified enough operators to help State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial partners stand up their own C-UAS capabilities. Just last week, NCUTC graduates in New York led airspace protection at the US Open from start to finish, with our @NewYorkFBI team working alongside them as supporting members of the Task Force to Restore American Airspace Sovereignty. This success reflects our shared mission: giving partners nationwide the training, tools, and confidence to protect critical infrastructure and major events. A strong win for this FBI, and a stronger future for American airspace sovereignty. #YourFBI #Partnerships @NYPDnews
