Something huge just happened in the drone world—and we felt the gust of change all the way across the California skies.
Last week, President Trump signed two Executive Orders that didn’t just make headlines… they made history. These long-awaited federal directives are now prioritizing drone innovation, expanding access to Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, and reinforcing the U.S. commitment to a secure, domestic drone supply chain.
And here at Birds Eye Aerial Drones, a California-based drone service provider with over 325,000 missions under our belt, we’re ready.
What’s in the Air?
These Executive Orders unlock major moves:
1. BVLOS Regulations Are Officially on The Fast Track
That means fewer waivers and more freedom for drones to perform long-distance missions, critical for transmission line patrols, railway inspections, wildfire monitoring, and emergency response. Although Birds Eye Aerial Drones holds a BVLOS waiver, we’re grateful for these actions, which will just make expanding the reach more doable.
2. Federal Dollars Are Flying In
The Senate just earmarked $2.4 billion to boost America’s drone industrial base, plus $1.3 billion for counter-UAS technologies. We’re talking about investments in safer skies, smarter responses, and faster missions.
3. Drone Delivery Is Getting Real
Walmart and Wing just launched services in 5 new U.S. cities -Clear evidence is that aerial drone services are officially becoming mainstream infrastructure.
Why This Matters to You?
If your business or agency is thinking drones might be a flash in the pan—think again. This is a transformative shift, not a temporary wave.
And here’s why you should act now:
- Drones reduce inspection time by 60–80% compared to traditional boots-on-the-ground methods.
- Our drone operating service has helped utility partners reduce response time during PSPS events by up to 48 hours.
- Zero FAA reportable incidents in over 10 years of operation. Because compliance and safety come first.
Whether you’re a general contractor, a utility asset manager, a land developer, or a city planner—we help you replace risk with ROI.
