A few months ago, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) added all foreign-produced UAS and UAS critical components to its Covered List of equipment — equipment that is deemed to present national security risks and can no longer receive equipment authorizations. The aim is to boost U.S. manufacturing of UAS, and reduce dependence on technology from other countries. There are three ways to get your UAS or UAS components off the Covered List, but the rules and procedures are complex and there is a lot to know. The White House also is developing ways to support domestic UAS manufacturing. Akin is in constant communication with the decision-makers in Washington, DC, helping clients determine the best means of compliance with the new regime to get their equipment authorizations. Join us for this informational session as Akin experts Jennifer Richter (Partner)and Halie Peacher (Counsel) break down the top 10 things you need to know in this special Law-Tech Connect 2026 preview Webinar.
