It sounds dramatic, but it’s exactly what could happen under the new rule.” The publication continued: “In June 2025, the President signed the “\n \n Unleashing American Drone Dominance\n \n ” Executive Order (EO). This order will support the use of U.S.-made drones and eliminate the use of foreign drone technology. The EO and the\n \n 2025 National Defence Authorization Act\n \n require the authorities to complete a national security review of DJI by December 2025. If DJI is deemed a threat to U.S. national security, new models could be blocked from sale in the U.S\n \n . (DJI is a Chinese technology company that is the world's largest maker of consumer drones.)\n \n The executive order is a blueprint for two major goals: accelerating drone innovation in the U.S. and ensuring that most drones are manufactured domestically, not overseas. The key elements include:\n \n Pushing for Faster Integration.\n \n The FAA must propose rules for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights within 30 days and finalize them within 240 days. This offers a huge advantage for commercial pilots and public safety teams. In simple terms, this executive order allows drone pilots to run more routine, long-range operations without waiting years for regulatory updates.\n \n Cutting Through Red Tape.\n \n The order encourages the FAA to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to speed up Part 107 waiver approvals, which previously took weeks or months. By identifying common scenarios and automating those approvals, pilots can spend more time flying and less time waiting.   Active Companies in the drone industry this week include\n \n ZenaTech, Inc.\n \n (NASDAQ: ZENA),\n \n Red Cat Holdings, Inc.\n \n (NASDAQ: RCAT),\n \n Palantir Technologies Inc.\n \n (NASDAQ: PLTR),\n \n Draganfly Inc.\n \n (NASDAQ: DPRO),\n \n Ondas Holdings Inc.\n \n (NASDAQ: ONDS).\n \n\n Key Elements Continued:\...
