It establishes comprehensive policy goals to accelerate drone integration into the national airspace, support domestic drone manufacturing, and promote American leadership in drone technologies. The order directs multiple federal agencies to take specific actions, including the FAA developing rules for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, establishing an Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) pilot program, and creating metrics to assess drone operation safety. It also prioritizes US-manufactured drones in government procurement, aims to streamline export controls for civil drones, and instructs the Department of Defense to prioritize domestic drone technologies. The regulation seeks to reduce reliance on foreign drone technologies, strengthen domestic supply chains, and position the United States as a global leader in drone innovation across commercial, safety, and military applications.
