Track; not yet
- Why
- The regulatory foundation for scaled US drone autonomy is real and progressing, but it is unpublished, twice-reopened, and contested on a core airspace-priority provision plus a hardware-origin limit; adoption now would build on shifting ground.
- Next
- Monitor the Federal Register for the final rule (industry guides expected ~March 16, 2026 + 6-12 mo implementation, now overdue); model two scenarios (with/without presumptive right-of-way) and assess country-of-origin exposure before committing to any BVLOS-dependent build.
