Abiding By All Prohibited and Restricted Airspace Rules and Regulations, Including Flight Restricted Zones (FRZ), National Security Areas (NSA), Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ), Special Flight Rules Areas (SFRA) and Wilderness & National Parks
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the airspace around Washington DC underwent a number of changes designed to restrict flying around the city. As highlighted by the Federal Aviation Administration, the airspace around Washington, D.C. is more restricted than in any other part of the country. Rules put in place after the 9/11 attacks established a “national defense airspace” over the area and limiting aircraft operations to those with an FAA and Transportation Security Administration authorization.
Prior to operating any sUAS task within the Washington Metropolitan Area, including any areas within the United States affected by airspace restrictions, the Drone Intelligence Agency will continue to abide by all pertinent rules and regulations. All Drone Intelligence Agency 14 CFR Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems operators continue to undergo extensive training, thus ensuring that all performed assignments are flawlessly executed safely and within FAA guidelines and regulations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released highly anticipated rules regarding unmanned aircraft (UA) as it relates to the adoption and use of Remote Identification (Remote ID) for drones. In preparation of PART 89 – REMOTE IDENTIFICATION OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT, the Drone Intelligence Agency will be grounding its existing sUAS aircraft over the next 12 months, thus replacing with sUAS quadcopters and hexacopters that meet the forthcoming FAA Remote ID compliance regulation in 2023.
“Remote ID will help mitigate risks associated with expanded drone operations, such as flights over people and at night, and both rules support technological and operational innovation and advancements. These final rules carefully address safety, security and privacy concerns while advancing opportunities for innovation and utilization of drone technology,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.
