This decision was made to the eve of large sports events, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, which will be held in the country. As the director of the White House Scientific and Technical Policy Department told reporters, the administration takes strict measures to combat the illegal use of drones.
According to officials, the purpose of three orders is to stimulate the production and innovation in the United States, simultaneously reducing dependence on foreign opponents, such as China, which dominates the market of commercial drones.
The administration also seeks to fight malicious actions, especially after public indignation last year regarding the frequent cases of drones in New Jersey. The recent use of Ukraine in the war in the war of repelling the invasion of the Russian-aggressor country, in particular, a daring attack on airfields, also attracted attention to the achievements and threats of this technology, the publication said.
One of the three of the decrees aimed at improving the possibilities of combating drones is concerned to create a target group that will consider threats and offer solutions. The second decree is aimed at promoting the US market for new technologies, including drones. The third decree is designed to promote the development of supersonic technology in the United States, including by canceling the rules that officials consider to obscure development.
Decrees, in particular, are prescribed by federal agencies to give priority to the drones produced in the United States. The high -ranking White House officials who spoke on the terms of anonymity said that the directive was designed to reduce the dependence on technology from other countries. Although it does not prohibit any specific companies, she orders the Ministry of Trade to begin investigations and regulatory checks to protect the drones supply chain to the United States. This can lead to the fact that the company will be included in the list that will prohibit new drones with access to US networks, one of the officials said.
