If any kind of aerial drone tries to breach a miles-long exclusion area above World Cup games in Boston and San Francisco, Coast Guard defense personnel will be able to use specialized equipment to seize remote control of the system and land or destroy it. That’s according to Lt. James Hockler, the Coast Guard’s counter-unmanned aerial systems, or C-UAS, program manager.
