Powerus President and COO Brett Velicovich shares a sobering perspective on the evolving role of drones in modern warfare, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in U.S. infrastructure and the growing importance of counter-drone technology.

What Powerus Said

“If an attack were attempted, it would likely target symbolic or high-impact infrastructure – ports, energy facilities, or major urban centers.”

Velicovich points to a shift toward asymmetric warfare, where low-cost, scalable drone technology can be used to create outsized disruption, even without direct large-scale military engagement.
