Trump Admin Unveils Rule ‘To Unleash American Drone Dominance’
The Trump administration has announced a proposed rule on drones aimed at stimulating the U.S. drone market.
“We are going to unleash American drone dominance,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at an Aug. 5 press conference.
Duffy noted that China dominates drones with 90 percent control of the market.
“We’re turning over our skies to one of our main adversaries,” he said.
The new rule would allow people to get products such as a Starbucks cup of coffee via drone, he said, adding that it will also change energy production, farming, manufacturing, and filmmaking.
This regulation deals with drones being flown beyond the visual line of sight. It will be open to public comment for 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register.
“Operators in the past would have to get individual waivers to operate these drones, very complicated. They were issued on a case-by-case basis, and because of that complication, I don’t think we saw the innovation that we should have in America,” Duffy said.
“We are going to eliminate that prior process, and the approval will be done in a far different way. The rules are going to completely change the way that drone use is going to be approved, and what this is going to do is, again, allow our innovators and businesses to continue to create and innovate and change the way our industry works with the use of these drones.”
