Third party craft or components are not to be trusted due to national security concerns.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday to protect Americans from certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems UAS. The order is designed to limit the procurement of UAS from third parties, particularly with federal funding, and encourage the domestic manufacture of them.
“The use of UAS and critical components manufactured and developed by foreign adversaries, or by persons under their control, may allow this sensitive information to be accessed by or transferred to foreign adversaries,” said President Trump. “The Nation’s capability to produce UAS and certain critical UAS components domestically is critical for national defense and the security and strength of our defense industrial base.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- That the federal government would abide by this direction not to obtain and use foreign unmanned aircraft systems.
- For the president as he completes the work before him.
- For the protection of the American people from foreign surveillance.
