John Hoeven: “We have got to move these projects. They are just critically important for the country, critically important…”

I appreciate General Ross for recognizing the potential of this partnership and for working with me to make it a reality.

“These investments will help grow our economy, expand our technology sector and ensure more of these critical capabilities are developed and manufactured right here in North Dakota.”

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.
