New Report from Matrix, ADC: The Community Role in Counter-Drone Efforts 

May 12, 2026

In collaboration with ADC, Matrix is releasing “Widening the Aperture Part II: Installation-Community Cooperation Against Drone Threats.” The report outlines what solutions installations and their surrounding communities can pursue to protect against unmanned aircraft. 

“Installation-community partnerships should purposefully approach the complexity of drone threats through a local lens,” the report says, “cooperating on issues that can solve immediate, localized problems and building coordination between local law enforcement, government entities, and on-the-ground commanders of military and federal assets in the area.” 

You can read the full report here. 

The first report in the series, “Refocusing Installation-Community Cooperation Against Emergent Threats,” is online here.
