FIFA Field-Ready Range Day | Industry Debrief
This Counter-Drone and NSSE Event industry debrief provides a structured follow-up to the February 10–11 FIFA Field-Ready Range Day, hosted at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The session is intended to capture operational observations, lessons learned, and follow-on pathways emerging from the live, integrated counter-UAS demonstrations conducted during the event.
The Range Day brought together government operators, public safety stakeholders, and industry partners to evaluate layered Detect, Track, Identify, and Mitigate (DTI-M) capabilities in a realistic, multi-vendor operating environment. This EXSUM consolidates key takeaways for industry partners building drone, counter-drone, and operational solutions for National Security.
