Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday will outline his plans to advance drone technology in the U.S., an effort the Trump administration says will make operations “safe, secure, routine, and scalable.”
Duffy in May introduced two proposed rules: Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations and restricting drone operations at a fixed site facility.
“From drones delivering your packages to conducting critical infrastructure inspections, unmanned aircraft represent the future of aviation,” he wrote at the time. “As part of my innovation agenda, we’ve put forward two long-overdue rules that will speed up deployment and enhance safety.”
His remarks also come ahead of an expected announcement around a nuclear reactor being built on the moon. Duffy also serves as the interim NASA director.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. EDT.
