Hochul says 'drone detection system' being deployed to New York

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has announced federal authorities will deploy a “state-of-the-art drone detection system” to the Empire State, after a flurry of reports of unknown drone sightings.

The White House has stressed that the flying objects do not pose any threat and may be a “slight overreaction” from the public, but federal officials have garnered criticism over not providing enough information about the objects. Hochul announced the deployment of the system in a statement on Sunday and shared her gratitude for the support from the federal government.
