What the Executive Orders Mean for Critical Infrastructure Protection
On June 6, 2025, the White House has issued two sweeping Executive Orders that elevate airspace sovereignty to a national priority—an action with immediate implications for energy infrastructure.
From securing refinery sites to monitoring remote terminals and cross-border pipelines, protecting the air above your assets is no longer just smart risk management. It’s aligned with federal policy.

What’s Changed
Two Executive Orders—Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty and Unleashing American Drone Dominance—are now shaping how public and private sectors must detect, track, and respond to aerial threats.
Key Changes Impacting the Energy Sector:
- By July 6, 2025: SLTT grant programs will become eligible for CUAS technologies that support critical infrastructure
- By August 5, 2025: FAA must provide real-time drone Remote ID access to approved federal and SLTT agencies for enforcement coordination
- By August 5, 2025: DHS and FAA will issue formal guidance for private infrastructure owners on how to legally detect, track, and identify drones and drone signals
- Ongoing, starting July 2025: Airspace restrictions around critical infrastructure will face stricter enforcement and federal coordination, including expanded drone interdiction authority and CUAS integration into Joint Terrorism Task Forces
Why It Matters for Energy Infrastructure
Energy sites—refineries, terminals, offshore platforms, and pipelines—fall squarely within the “covered infrastructure” described in the Executive Orders.
With over 26.4% growth in drone registrations and thousands of unauthorized drone incidents reported last year alone, passive drone activity near energy infrastructure is more than a nuisance—it’s a growing operational and reputational risk.

Golden Dome Needs a Low-Altitude Surveillance Layer
Adversaries are rapidly developing small uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), autonomous drones, and low-observable aircraft specifically designed to evade traditional radar and exploit weaknesses in existing defense systems.
Field-tested and trusted in the most demanding settings.

Hidden Level’s Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS)
Hidden Level delivers real-time airspace awareness using battle-tested, passive RF sensing technology already deployed at critical sites across the U.S., including federal bases, major sports venues, and key infrastructure.
With AMS, chevron can:
Detect drones and identify operator locations in real-time
Deploy legally, with Title 18 compliance—no FCC coordination required
Integrate into existing security systems via open API
Scale without installing permanent infrastructure
We’re already operational in one of the most restricted airspaces in the world— Washington, D.C. since 2021 where we partnered with federal authorities in monitoring the presidential inauguration—and we’re ready to help energy partners get ahead of what’s coming next.
Tech that’s tested and trusted.
Arlington’s Entertainment District
Hidden Level deployed Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS), its advanced RF sensor network, to provide comprehensive airspace monitoring across Arlington’s Entertainment District.
