In 2025, Oregon took a major step toward protecting emergency response operations by passing House Bill 3426 (HB 3426). This new law makes interfering with emergency services by operating unauthorized drones a felony offense, especially during critical incidents like wildfires, search-and-rescue operations, and public safety emergencies.
For public safety agencies, wildfire management teams, and critical infrastructure operators, this new legislation brings both a challenge and an opportunity: how to maintain clear, protected airspace when the threat of rogue drones is growing.
Aerial Defense Systems (ADS), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Vancouver, Washington, is ready to help Oregon agencies and organizations meet this challenge head-on.
The Challenge: New Law, New Airspace Threats
While HB 3426 increases penalties for drone interference, proactive detection and real-time response are essential to prevent incidents before they happen. Agencies need tools that can:
Detect unauthorized drone activity immediately
Identify airspace incursions before they disrupt operations
Support evidence collection for legal action when necessary
