Ageagle invited for follow-up White House engagement on FAA rulemaking

AgEagle Aerial Systems (UAVS) announces the Company participated in a second high-level, invitation only policy discussion with the White House, hosted by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. This most recent engagement was centered on the proposed FAA Rule Part 108, which will define the regulatory framework for Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone operations across the United States. AgEagle CEO Bill Irby joined industry peers from uAvionix, BRINC, Kelly Hills, and Pierce Aerospace in presenting key insights on how enactment of Part 108 will remove significant operational barriers, drive capital investment, and unlock next-generation drone technologies that enhance both commercial and public sector applications. This engagement was made possible in part through the leadership and coordination of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International and the Commercial Drone Alliance who played key roles in facilitating industry participation and ensuring productive dialogue between the private sector and federal stakeholders. The meeting included representatives from 18 leading drone technology companies. Collectively, the discussions included: Examples of high-impact technologies that will become viable under the new; How regulatory clarity will attract increased capital investment into the sector; The creation of a uniquely American model for drone automation and data services, strengthening domestic capabilities and competitiveness. The finalization of FAA Rule Part 108 is expected to replace the current piecemeal waiver-based system, providing a more predictable, scalable, and innovation-friendly regulatory environment. AgEagle sees this as a pivotal moment for enabling widespread commercial drone adoption across agriculture, energy, construction, emergency response, and government services.
