USA - FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign UAS and UAS Critical Components on Going Forward Basis

Business description

The FCC has updated its Covered List to include foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and critical components, citing national security risks such as potential misuse for attacks, surveillance, and data breaches. 

This decision aligns with U.S. efforts to safeguard airspace sovereignty, bolster the domestic drone industry, and reduce reliance on foreign-made drones, as outlined in President Trump's executive orders and national security strategy. Importantly, the update only applies to new device models, allowing consumers to continue using previously authorized drones and retailers to sell existing approved models.
