John Hoeven: “Thank you both very much.”

Between Project ATLAS, which we announced yesterday, and the MOU signed today, it is clear to anyone who wants to develop drone and counter-drone technology, North Dakota is the place to be.

JIATF 401 was founded specifically to address this new threat and leads the effort to develop and deploy counter-drone technology across the entire Department of War.

Small drones have changed warfare, a fact we’ve seen clearly in Ukraine, the Middle East and even over our own military bases.

Working with High Plains has been one part of our efforts to ensure that North Dakotans have access to safe, affordable and quality housing.
