AUVSI Statement on the Reintroduction of the Drones for First Responders Act
The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) applauds the reintroduction of the Drones for First Responders (DFR) Act and commends Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for her leadership in advancing this critical legislation.
America’s overreliance on drones manufactured in adversarial nations, most notably the People’s Republic of China (PRC), poses a growing threat to national security and supply chain resilience. This is a strategic vulnerability that impacts not only national security but also will negatively impact public safety, economic resilience, and technological leadership if we do not act.

Webinar: L-band Satcom in a multi-link solution
Date/Time: Wednesday, June 4 at 3:00 PM–4:00 PM EST
In order to safely integrate UAS/RPAS operations of all varieties into controlled airspace, we believe a multilink solution is the best option (multi-spectrum, hybrid terrestrial + satcom connectivity). This flexibility allows for the use of ultra-low-latency terrestrial or satellite links when available and performing well, together with always available L-band GEO satellite connectivity when they aren’t. Satellite connectivity is there when you need it, and there when you don’t.
