Options to Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Congressional Budget Office

No 62262, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: CBO outlines the evolution of small unmanned aircraft systems, describes the methods currently available to counter them, and estimates the costs of procuring one or more of those methods to protect military installations. In CBO's assessment, a layered system that combined methods would provide the most comprehensive defense and cost about $74 million to outfit a typical military installation and at least $5 million a year to support it.
