The future of drones is about to drastically change in America. But, why?
What’s happening:
- The Federal Communications Commission has banned the import of foreign drones and drone parts into the United States of America
Why it matters:
- This is the first full scale nationwide ban on foreign drones to ever be legally enforced in America
Going deeper:
- Foreign produced drones, radios, flight controllers, motors and smart batteries are all banned as part of the new regulations from the Federal Communications Commission
- The United States Department of War has also been putting a major push behind domestic drone production lately, including just recently committing to purchase $1B USD worth of small attack drones that are manufactured in America
