国土安全部完成第四届反无人机系统评估：11家厂商在俄克拉荷马州受测两周
美国国土安全部科技局11月13日宣布，该局已在俄克拉荷马州 Stringtown 完成为期两周的反无人机系统评估，11月3日至13日举行的第四届 Kinetic IV 测试共评估11家商业厂商的技术，数据将用于联邦采购决策。
测试在 Choctaw Nation 新兴航空技术中心举行，这是美国联邦航空管理局指定的无人机试验场，也是该系列测试首次在此举办。受测技术分三类：动能拦截器以撞击或捕获方式处置目标，缠绕系统以网具捕获或缠住无人机旋翼，定向能武器则以破坏无人机电子设备的方式使其失效，可应对单架无人机或无人机群。
来自政府、业界与国际伙伴的技术专家按系统效能、可靠性、作战适用性、架设时间、部署难易与附带影响等指标评估各厂商系统。国际伙伴也到场分享作战经验，并讨论协同测试评估框架。
国土安全部长 Markwayne Mullin 说，守护国土需要强有力的伙伴关系与共同的创新承诺，国土安全部正与州、地方、部落和领地伙伴、业界及国际盟友合作，评估应对无人系统不断演变威胁的技术。
科技副部长 Pedro Allende 说，无人系统的快速扩散与技术演变要求防御能力持续适应，科技局与业界密切合作，为有前景的技术提供严格的评估环境。联邦航空管理局代理副局长 Liam McKenna 说，这类测试让联邦航空管理局与联邦伙伴能在真实环境中评估反无人机技术，同时确认对国家空域系统的影响并落实安全措施。
国土安全部科技局说，这已是该系列连续第四年举行，本届建立在此前测试的经验之上，成果将帮助国土安全部为包括重大全国性活动在内的未来安保需求做规划，两周测试收集的数据将用于制定联邦采购策略。

DHS Completes Fourth Counter-Drone Evaluation: 11 Vendors Tested Over Two Weeks in Oklahoma
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) announced on November 13 that it has completed a rigorous two-week evaluation of counter-drone technologies in Stringtown, Oklahoma, where the fourth annual Kinetic IV test, held November 3-13, assessed systems from 11 commercial vendors, with the data to inform federal procurement strategies.
The test was held for the first time at the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Emerging Aviation Technology Center, an FAA-designated UAS testbed. The technologies evaluated fell into three categories: kinetic interceptors designed to collide with or capture targets, entanglement systems that deploy nets to capture or ensnare drone rotors, and directed-energy weapons capable of disabling drone electronics to neutralize single threats or multi-drone swarms.
Technical experts from across government, industry and international partners evaluated the vendors on system effectiveness, reliability, operational suitability, setup time, ease of deployment and collateral effects. International partners also shared operational insights and discussed collaborative test and evaluation frameworks.
Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said protecting the homeland requires strong partnerships and a shared commitment to innovation, and that DHS is working with state, local, tribal and territorial partners, industry and international allies to evaluate technologies that can address the evolving threat posed by unmanned systems.
Pedro Allende, Under Secretary for Science and Technology, said the rapid proliferation and technological evolution of unmanned systems demand continuously adapting defensive capabilities, and that S&T provides a rigorous environment for evaluating promising technologies against DHS operational needs. Acting FAA Deputy Administrator Liam McKenna said testing like this lets the FAA and its federal partners evaluate counter-drone technologies in a real-world environment while identifying potential impacts to the National Airspace System.
S&T said this was the fourth consecutive year of the test series, building on lessons from prior activities, and that it will help inform DHS planning for future security needs, including major national events.
