What the Executive Orders Mean for Airport operators
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 airport infrastructure.
From monitoring airspace over runways to securing perimeters and terminals, protecting the skies above your airport isn’t just smart risk management—it’s aligned with federal aviation 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 Airport Sector:
- On July 6, 2025: SLTT grant programs became 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 airports
Airports—runways, terminals, control towers, and surrounding airspace—fall squarely within the “covered infrastructure” outlined in federal 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.

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 airports, federal bases, major sports venues, and key infrastructure.
With AMS, airports 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 airports get ahead of what’s coming next.
Tech that’s tested and trusted.
