If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves.

America’s top drone development zones

The list provided identifies the top metropolitan areas across the United States where significant amounts of drone (civilian and military) research, development, and manufacturing are taking place. It also includes the headquarters locations for those entities. Despite often being associated with military use, drones can have many useful peacetime functions such as but not limited to: aerial inspections, aerial and thermal imagery, agricultural spray application, mapping/surveying, product delivery, site security, public safety, search & rescue (SAR), environmental monitoring, and disaster response/reconnaissance.

The list does not distinguish between types or value of the drones produced, their raw numbers, nor the numbers employed by the industry. It only provides a list of organizations located there that are actively involved in drone research and development. To make the list as complete as possible, sources of counter/anti-drone product development are also included.

As can be seen by the list, there are a number of metropolitan areas that have become significant zones for drone development. Greater Washington, D.C. tends to be where many military drone manufacturers are headquartered in order to be close to the decision makers are located.

Separately, several long-standing military-focused cities have become drone nodes as well — San Diego, Hampton Roads, and Albuquerque-Santa Fe fall into this category. Then, there are the well-known high-technology hubs that have naturally morphed into drone development. These include Boston, Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area (which could easily be combined with Silicon Valley), Seattle, and Portland (OR).

Seattle, Los Angeles, and Wichita all fall into another category – aircraft manufacturing cities that have expanded into drone zones. Meanwhile the Houston, Huntsville, Orlando-Melbourne, Los Angeles, and El Paso-Las Cruces metropolitan areas fall into the outer space specialization grouping. Transitioning from either of these manufacturing ecosystems to drones would be a logical step.

And lastly, there are the unexpected notable drone zones — Reno, Detroit, and of all places, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Detroit is an historic hub for automation and engine technologies and its economy encompasses a surprising amount of defense industries, while the State of Nevada has been investing in ways to make the Reno-Sparks area a competitive player in the drone industry.

Grand Forks, North Dakota deserves significant accolades for its forward-thinking step of establishing the nation’s first drone research, development, and testing park (GrandSKY) at Grand Forks U.S. Air Force Base back in the mid-2010s. The extent of the drone zone in Grand Forks has led to the area being nicknamed “Silidrone Valley.”

More information on each of the drone zones is provided below. As always, any additions, suggestions, or corrections to the list are most welcome.

Peace!
