I'm the director of JAA 401 . Today

00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:13,710
interagency summit . This is an 

6
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:15,766
opportunity to bring together all of 

7
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:17,877
the services , all of our interagency 

8
00:00:17,877 --> 00:00:20,099
partners that have shared interests and 

9
00:00:20,099 --> 00:00:22,043
equities with countering small UAS 

10
00:00:22,043 --> 00:00:24,229
threats . We've got over 180 

11
00:00:24,229 --> 00:00:26,451

12
00:00:26,451 --> 00:00:28,562
from across the whole of government . 

13
00:00:28,562 --> 00:00:30,729
Nobody can solve this problem . And so 

14
00:00:30,729 --> 00:00:32,729
there's areas where we have to work 

15
00:00:32,729 --> 00:00:34,785
together to make sure that we have a 

16
00:00:34,785 --> 00:00:37,007

17
00:00:37,007 --> 00:00:36,869
make sure that we've got layered 

18
00:00:36,869 --> 00:00:39,430
defenses to counter small UAS systems 

19
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:41,541
and to make sure that when we deliver 

20
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:43,763
that capability to the hands of our war 

21
00:00:43,763 --> 00:00:45,874
fighters and our civil defenders that 

22
00:00:45,874 --> 00:00:47,541
they have the authorities and 

23
00:00:47,541 --> 00:00:49,319
permissions to use them and the 

24
00:00:49,319 --> 00:00:49,229
