The archived source identifies the image as a U.S. Air Force work in the public domain in the United States.

The Department of War has awarded DroneSec a contract through Joint Interagency Task Force 401, the Army announced November 10\. The contract is intended to help U.S. forces identify, understand and counter adversary unmanned systems.

DroneSec will provide intelligence products and threat analysis for the task force’s counter-unmanned-systems mission, according to the Army release. The effort aims to explain adversary technologies and procurement networks, along with tactics for developing and employing weaponized drones.

The release does not disclose the award date, contract value, performance period or contract identifier. It says the task force plans to use DroneSec’s open-source and unmanned-systems threat intelligence to inform capability development and operational planning, but gives no dated milestone for that work.
