National Security Concerns Prompt Airspace Restrictions
The Department of Transportation has established a temporary flight restriction for drones along the southern border, in coordination with the departments of Defense and Homeland Security. The no-drone zone aims to reduce risks to ongoing border security operations and protect federal personnel and facilities. This effort is part of a broader push to counter unmanned aerial systems, with vendors and agencies exploring counter-UAS capabilities and interagency partnerships.
