World Cup Kicks Off: FBI and DHS Enforce No-Fly Zones as Ondas Trains Law Enforcement on Sentrycs Counter-UAS System

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup officially opens, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have jointly emphasized strict enforcement of no-fly zones around match venues, warning the public that any unauthorized drone flights in restricted airspace will result in legal consequences.

Ondas Trains Law Enforcement on Sentrycs Counter-UAS Technology

On the security technology front, Ondas is rolling out dedicated training programs for law enforcement agencies across the country, helping security teams familiarize themselves with and operate the Sentrycs counter-UAS system.

The core capabilities of the Sentrycs system include:

• Detect: Real-time identification of unauthorized drones entering controlled airspace
• Control: Takeover of flight commands from hostile or rogue drones
• Land: Guided safe landing of problem drones, minimizing potential threats to ground personnel and infrastructure

Major Sporting Events Drive Counter-UAS Deployment

International mega-events such as the World Cup have become a primary deployment scenario for counter-UAS technology. With large crowds, media personnel, and dignitaries in attendance, any hostile drone incursion could trigger serious security incidents — whether used for surveillance, harassment, or direct attack.

The FBI and DHS have jointly issued public reminders that no-fly zones are in effect within several miles of match venues, training facilities, and related event sites. Violations may result in equipment confiscation and potential criminal charges.

Through this training initiative, Ondas aims to ensure that law enforcement units can deploy the Sentrycs system efficiently during live security operations, neutralizing drone threats before they can escalate.
