The defense desk tracks the industrial base beneath Western rearmament: sub-tier feedstock concentration, counter-UAS authority and what it lets a commercial site lawfully buy, and the exposure of principals and executives as security migrates to the data layer.

PUBLISHED WHEN THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS A JUDGMENT.
The only complete federal drone series measures airports. The threat moved elsewhere.
Reported UAS sightings near US airports, by federal fiscal year. The series is flat to falling since 2021. Over the same period the NFL recorded 2,845 stadium incursions in a single season and NORTHCOM reported 350 detections across roughly 100 military installations in one year. Those are different scopes and cannot be added together, which is precisely the problem: there is no unified federal count of incursions over critical sites.
