In Daewoo Eng'g and Constr. Co. v. U.S. (Fed. Cir. Feb. 20, 2009), the Federal Circuit affirmed the CFC's findings that the contractor had submitted a $64 million claim involving approximately $50 million based on material misrepresentations that amounted to a fraud. From this, the contractor received the triple whammy of forfeiting its entire claim under the CDA, being penalized $50 million under the CDA, and being fined $10,000 under the FCA.

On July 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) setting up a new federal framework that allows state, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement and correctional agencies to detect, track, and, in some cases, disable or seize drones. The rule directly affects SLTT agencies looking to stand up counter-drone programs, as well as drone and counter-drone technology companies whose products will be subject to federal review and approval. Although the IFR bypassed the Administrative Procedure Act’s standard notice-and-comment process on good cause grounds — citing the statutory 180-day deadline and urgent public safety needs — the rule is already legally binding and effective as of July 1, 2026. The Departments are nonetheless accepting post-promulgation comments through September 4, 2026.
