Small unmanned aerial systems were spotted in the vicinity of and over Wright-Patterson AFB’s Area A and Area B during the late evening and early morning of Dec. 16 and Dec. 17th.  
 
Installation leaders have determined that none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities or assets. The Wright-Patterson AFB airspace was not affected by the incursions.   

The number of systems has fluctuated, and they have ranged in sizes and configurations. Our units continue to monitor the airspace and are working with local law enforcement authorities and mission partners to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities and assets.   

We request individuals in the area to contact either local police or Security Forces if they see anything suspicious, to include sUAS's or drone activity.
