This initiative follows last year&#8217;s unsettling sightings of drones in the area, wich raised public concern and speculation about their origins. Duffy criticized the previous Biden administration for its lack of transparency regarding the incident, emphasizing his belief in &#8220;radical transparency.&#8221; The FAA has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">previously tested drone detection technology<\/a> in Alaska and plans further tests in new Mexico, North Dakota, and Mississippi later this year. During the New Jersey tests, the agency will utilize several large drones and over 100 commercial drones over water near the Cape May Ferry Terminal, operating only on weekdays and advising the public to refrain from flying recreational drones in the vicinity during this time. The tests aim to assess the effectiveness of these technologies and their potential impact on FAA and aircraft navigation systems.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Duffy announces New Jersey drone detection mission after last year&rsquo;s scandal<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2096923\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/federal-aviation-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Federal Aviation Administration<\/a> is conducting drone-detection testing in New Jersey, Transportation Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sean-duffy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Sean Duffy<\/a> announced, after mysterious drones were spotted over the state and elsewhere last year, fueling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3257665\/pentagon-new-jersey-rep-drones-iran-false\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">speculation about their origins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump&rsquo;s White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3303080\/white-house-new-jersey-drones-were-not-the-enemy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">said the drones<\/a> spotted over New Jersey were &ldquo;not the enemy&rdquo; in January, and the previous Biden administration said the public <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3260998\/white-house-drone-sightings-are-manned-aircraft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">had a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/most-drone-sightings-reports-are-manned-aircraft-white-house\/\" title=\"Most ... reports are manned aircraft: White House\">slight overreaction&#038;rdquo<\/a>;<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mysterious-aircraft-repeatedly-breach-airspace-at-major-us-military-base\/\" title=\"Mysterious Aircraft Repeatedly Breach Airspace at Major US Military Base\">drone sightings<\/a> on the East Coast.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3382019\/hamas-lost-contact-group-holding-american-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander\/\">Hamas says it &lsquo;lost contact&rsquo; with group holding last American-Israeli hostage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3381457\/political-donations-from-top-harvard-officials-democrats\/\">Over 99% of political donations from top Harvard officials went to Democrats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3352698\/trump-executive-orders-struck-down\/\">Eleven Trump executive orders that have been struck down<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Duffy, who is from New Jersey, said the testing will take place in Cape May from April 14 to April 25.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Do you remember the drone fiasco in New Jersey last year?
