JOINT INTER-AGENCY TASK FORCE 401

Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401) represents the Pentagon's most significant organizational restructuring of counter-drone operations since the establishment of the Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office in 2019. Formally established by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on August 28, 2025, JIATF 401 consolidates counter-drone authorities across the Department of Defense with unprecedented procurement power and streamlined acquisition processes.
