In this episode of Sara and Josh Talk About Drones, Sara and Josh talk about several developments in the UAS space. First, they give an update on the alleged UAS sightings in New Jersey from December 2024 and the consensus that these sightings were in fact authorized crewed aircraft rather than rogue UAS. Next, they cover takeaways from the recent XPONENTIAL conference and the U.S. policy implications of recent high-profile usage of small drones in wartime conflicts. Sara and Josh then discuss the Trump Administration’s recent Executive Orders on “Unleashing American Drone Dominance” and “Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty.” Finally, Sara and Josh revisit the Department of Commerce’s proceeding on the UAS supply chain to provide an update on how that proceeding is likely to resolve, and how the parallel Commerce proceeding in the connected vehicle space and the FCC’s involvement therein may shape the future of the drone supply chain.
