Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty

It targets drone threats to the public, borders, airports, critical infrastructure, military sites, and major events while increasing enforcement and information sharing.

What the order does ​

• Creates a White House-led task force to review drone threats and recommend operational, technical, and regulatory responses.
• Directs the Federal Aviation Administration to expedite rules restricting drone flights over fixed-site facilities.
• Requires public, machine-readable flight restriction data for drone geofencing and navigation systems within 180 days.
• Strengthens civil and criminal enforcement against dangerous drone operations, airspace violations, and drone-assisted crimes.
• Expands grant eligibility for State, local, tribal, and territorial agencies to buy authorized drone and detection equipment.
• Directs agencies to increase drone detection and provide authorized officials real-time access to remote-identification data with privacy safeguards.
• Requires guidance for private critical infrastructure operators and a review of counter-drone protections for borders, airports, federal facilities, infrastructure, and military sites.
• Advances counter-drone coordination through Joint Terrorism Task Forces and a national training center focused initially on major sporting events.

Who it affects ​

• Drone operators flying near restricted airspace, sensitive facilities, borders, airports, or mass gatherings.
• Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial law-enforcement and public-safety agencies.
• Owners and operators of critical infrastructure and military or government facilities.
• Attendees and organizers of major events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics.
