“ “This is very normal. … The problem is, this is going to happen more and more and more because drones are the new normal; #drones are going to be operating,” Ritondale said.
He said the 10-day #NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) shutdown of airspace over #ElPaso made little to no sense considering the size and population of the city. He speculated that communications became muzzled from #JointTaskForce Southern Border up to #NORTHCOM, and then within the #DOW, the base command within #FortBliss, and then with the #FAA.”
Last February, NOTAM for 10 days? …more drones. ✈️🛸

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.
Autel Robotics thermal imaging search and rescue drone – Source: autelrobotics.comThe 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.
Northrup Grumman’s MQ-4C Triton Dron – Source: en.wikipedia.orgAs 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.
AeroVironmental Quantix drone – Source: thestreet.comSeparately, 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.
Source: Facebook.comGrand 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!

"The FCC’s foreign drone ban is here" by @verge / @jaypeters - New Federal Communications Commission FCC rule bans import of drones to USA from other countries unless approved by the Depts of Defense or Homeland Security. The premise is a #cybersecurity risk of remote access or malicious firmware updates. Chinese drone-maker DJI questions the reason for the rule, but reminds users that existing equipment still works. https://www.theverge.com/news/849460/fcc-foreign-drone-ban-dji-congress-deadline #drone #UAS #aviation #avgeek #regulation #business
