President Trump signed an executive order to address national security and public safety threats posed by drones in the U.S. A task force will focus on detecting and identifying drones, cracking down on unlawful activities like spying and drug smuggling, especially with events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics approaching. Michael Kratsios emphasized the timeliness of airspace security measures in light of recent drone incidents in Ukraine and Russia. Sebastian Gorka highlighted the need to enhance counter-drone capabilities to protect military sites, critical infrastructure, and public events. The order aims to strengthen law enforcement training and enforcement of drone-related laws. Additionally, it seeks to boost U.S. drone development for commercial use, including deliveries. Trump also signed orders to support the development of supersonic jets and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs). Kratsios mentioned the broader applications of these technologies beyond futuristic concepts, signaling a forward-looking approach to aviation innovation.
