FAA Funds Drone Research for Airspace Integration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has allocated $12 million to 19 companies for drone research and testing projects. These funds, distributed through the UAS Broad Agency Announcement Program, aim to safely expand drone operations within the National Airspace System. This initiative supports the "Unleashing American Drone Dominance Executive Order" by utilizing FAA-designated UAS Test Sites for technology development, testing, and scaling, fostering innovation in drone integration.
