A 360-degree radar system is requested by Schumer for NY and NJ to detect drones.

In parts of the United States, drones are being spotted in the night skies, prompting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to urge the Department of Homeland Security to install 360-degree radar systems for detecting drones.

Schumer stated that our local people should not have to rely on a magic eight ball to obtain answers about these drones.

Robin Radar Systems is tasked with developing a 360-degree radar system for deployment in the New York and New Jersey region, as per Schumer's request.

Our 360° radar systems log thousands of observations, scanning every second to track and classify with precision, whether it's a bird, bat, or drone.

Schumer stated that they need real answers, which the Robin can provide, hence their presence is desired.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Sunday that her calls for additional resources led to the deployment of a state-of-the-art drone detection system to New York State.

DHS, Hochul's office, and Schumer's office were contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital for comment.

The DHS spokesperson stated in an emailed statement that the Department responds directly to Congressional inquiries via official channels and will continue to do so appropriately in response to Congressional oversight.

During an interview on ABC's "This Week," Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas stated that certain unidentified sightings have been attributed to drones, while others are manned-aircraft that are commonly misidentified as drones.

The sightings in the north-east were not influenced by any foreign parties, as he stated.

"President-elect Trump expressed his concerns about mystery drone sightings across the country on Truth Social last week. He questioned whether these sightings could be occurring without the government's knowledge. Trump declared, "Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!""
