Drone Policy

The Commercial Drone Alliance is pushing Washington to move faster, and more strategically, on building a truly domestic drone ecosystem. In a newly released white paper, the industry group calls on the Trump Administration to adopt sweeping reforms aimed at strengthening US manufacturing, creating high-skilled jobs, and reducing reliance on foreign-made drone components. The message is clear: recent policy moves have set the tone, but now the US needs a coordinated, long-term plan to stay competitive.

The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) has announced new additions to its advocacy staff. The expansion will allow the association to expand its work on beyond visual line of sight policy development, building a roadmap towards trusted autonomy in both commercial and defense drone sectors.
