Long-range quadcopters are readily available on marketplaces like AliExpress for under $300 , with many priced at around $200 each.

The fact that battlefield technology is widely available in the United States and around the world at low cost augurs a climate in which any actor can quickly and cheaply gather the needed equipment to remotely go on a destructive and violent rampage.

Counter-drone defense tech is still, relatively, in its infancy around the world.

The US Department of Homeland Security has been encouraging state and local law enforcement to assess their ability to respond to weaponized drones.

DHS warned that violent extremists in the US have been looking to modify off-the-shelf” quadcopters to carry weapons.
