💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Why did the Tijuana frontera drone shoot-down trigger a shift to source-level anti-drone systems?
- A: The shoot-down showed detection and post-launch interception are too slow and risky, pushing firms to target launch sources, command links and operators before takeoff.
- Q: What is a source-level anti-drone system?
- A: It is a preemptive counter-drone approach that identifies and disables threats at origin via signal jamming, geofencing, AI prediction and supply-chain disruption.
- Q: How does this shift impact border security companies?
- A: It raises R&D costs and regulatory scrutiny but creates demand for integrated preemptive platforms and new service models along the frontera.
