"The drone threat is no longer confined to distant battlefields. It is coming to American soil, and the targets are no longer necessarily military targets."
"Shenzhen-based DJI churns out thousands of drones every day and accounts for 70% of all commercial drones sold globally, meaning American institutions rely on Chinese-made technology."
"The U.S. must embrace a technological foundation anchored in blockchain to support a neutral trust layer for airspace that is immutable, decentralized, and cryptographically verifiable."
Drones are increasingly threatening U.S. national security by targeting critical infrastructure such as airports and power plants. China's DJI dominates the global commercial drone market, supplying 70% of drones used in the U.S. This reliance on foreign-made drones creates vulnerabilities in airspace security. The U.S. has an opportunity to address this by banning foreign drones and developing a secure drone ecosystem. A blockchain-based system is proposed to create a decentralized, verifiable trust layer for airspace management, essential for overcoming current security challenges.
