RDID & The New Executive Order: Restore American Airspace Sovereignty, Drone Security by 2025

Ready to see a big push in securing the national airspace?

On June 6, 2025, President Donald Trump issued the executive order Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty, targeting the emerging threats posed by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)—also known as Drones—to our critical infrastructure, major events, and national security.

Unauthorized drone flights are already a menace. And with drone capabilities evolving fast, experts feel it's only a matter of time before they prove to be a substantial threat to homeland security. 

This landmark directive establishes a federal task force to track drones and drone pilots. It empowers federal agencies, including the FAA, DOJ, and DHS. It enables enforcement authorities to purchase and implement technologies for detecting, tracking, and identifying drones, their signals, and operators. 

Simultaneously, this executive order mandates stricter protections over public gatherings and critical infrastructure, and accelerates the deployment of Radio Frequency (RF) technology, geofencing, and counter-UAS systems. Trump has also signed a complementary order advocating for “drone dominance”, accelerating Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations and prioritizing domestic drone technology. Together, these steps mark a comprehensive, national strategy.

President Trump's executive order marks the most comprehensive government action on the threat of drones in history, and Spotter Global has a solution; Enter Remote Drone ID (RDID), available for lease to the public through TheDroneTracker.com. RDID is a best-in-class RF scanner and real-time detection system. In this blog post, we’ll examine how RDID integrates into the broader policy landscape and supports America’s national security and innovation goals.

🔍 Understanding the June 6 Executive Order: Key Provisions for 2025 

1. Protect Public Gatherings & Critical Infrastructure

The EO directs the FAA to create “risk-based assessments” for flying near critical infrastructure, such as airports, power facilities, military installations, and other public facilities, and mandates guidance for deploying counter-UAS and Remote ID systems.

2. Establish a Federal Task Force

The newly formed Task Force to Restore American Airspace Sovereignty will coordinate federal, state, and local responses to UAS threats. This task force is expected to respond to dangerous drone activities perpetuated by U.S. citizens and hostile foreign actors.

3. Expand Enforcement Authority

The EO empowers the Attorney General and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enforce laws, establish airspace restrictions, propose solutions to UAS threats, restrict flights, and expand counter-UAS grants for state and local agencies.

4. Mandate Detection & Remote ID Networks

Federal agencies are authorized to detect, track, and identify drones and drone signals, make grant programs available for local agencies, and publish RF data in real time.

Meet the RDID Device: Leading the Charge in UAS Security

RDID, available via TheDroneTracker.com, is a cutting-edge Remote Drone ID system designed for immediate field deployment. Key features include:

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) & Wi‑Fi Broadcasting: Compliant with FAA standards, RDID captures drone identity information, UAS & pilot location, and operator information.
• Signal Detection Cell: Scans airspace in real-time for Remote ID-equipped drones and non-cooperative UASs—aiding in geofencing enforcement.
• Portable Tracking Unit: Compact, rugged, and mobile, RDID enables law enforcement and Sector Risk Management Agencies (SRMAs) to detect drones near secure facilities and events.
• Secure Data Integration: RDID can relay live or recorded data to SRMAs and local agencies, aligning with federal Task Force data requirements.

RDID Complements Key EO Priorities

✅ Empowering Enforcement and Oversight

The executive order mandates real‑time access to Remote ID signals for federal and local responders. RDID meets that requirement by offering real-time signal scanning and identification, enabling the full scope of EO enforcement capabilities.

✅ Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Unmanned Aircraft Systems

By providing accurate detection near facilities like pipelines, airports, and power plants, RDID answers the EO’s call for geofencing and tailored critical infrastructure protection.

✅ Scaling with Task Force Strategy

With the Task Force’s directive to evaluate and deploy counter-UAS solutions, RDID serves as a scalable platform: modular, network-ready, and easy to integrate within municipal, state, or SRMA-led architectures.

✅ Enabling Joint Responses to UAV Threats

RDID enables shared situational awareness across agencies through georeferenced alerts, aligning with the EO’s goal of integrating drone response into Joint Terrorism Task Forces and mass-event security plans.

✅ Achieving Real-Time Airspace Sovereignty

With federal agencies now empowered to detect, track, and identify drone signals, RDID becomes an essential tool of sovereignty, giving operators real-time control and accountability in American skies.

UAS Innovation Meets Security: RDID Drives Dual-Use Excellence

The recent executive orders aren't anti-drone—they’re pro-smart drone use. The new measures set forth by these executive orders, supported by RDID and other devices, will help limit and otherwise protect against criminal and terrorist uses of drones, such as: 

• Drones being used to smuggle drugs across the border
• Drones being used to perpetuate illegal surveillance and cyber attacks
• Drones being used to deliver explosive or chemical weapon payloads

With protections in place against harmful drone activity, the avenues for positive drone innovations will become clearer and appear more viable to investors. Commercial UAV operations are already used in critical areas such as energy, agriculture, emergency response, and infrastructure inspection. Even more innovative uses for drones are emerging every year and with the right safety structures in place, new positive uses for drones will catch on even quicker. 

• Commercial Operators can share Remote ID signals, and RDID helps verify approved flights and ensures geofencing compliance.
• Critical Infrastructure Managers can deploy RDID nodes around assets to track drone entries or send automated alerts when unknown UAVs enter protected zones.
• RDID units can be deployed by event organizers and SRMAs to establish secure airspace in compliance with Executive Order guidelines. These deployments are suitable for large events such as NFL games, political rallies, and wildfire response zones.

Conclusion: Spotter Global’s RDID—Your Partner in Airspace Freedom

Drones will continue to endanger critical operations, especially as the number of commercial and recreational uses for drones increases. And while the risks presented by careless and clueless operators are real, they are nothing compared to the potential risks presented by those who are prepared to use drones for deliberate criminal and terrorist activities.

Most locations, commercial, private, and public, are woefully underprepared to respond to even a low-level drone threat, let alone a deliberate premeditated assault designed to do maximal damage. 

The recent executive order prioritizes protection over critical infrastructure and public gatherings, but safety measures for other locations are sure to follow as the drone threat grows. 

RDID’s is designed to integrate seamlessly with large-scale security systems and supports the CUAS goals outlined by the recent executive order by:  

• Facilitating Remote ID compliance, enabling legal drone operations.
• Empowering SRMAs and public agencies to protect critical infrastructure and events.
• Aligning with real-time detection and sharing protocols mandated by the White House EOs.

Now more than ever, sovereignty of American skies depends on smart, ethical, and ambitious engagement with drone technologies. The Task Force to Restore American Airspace Sovereignty needs tools like RDID in its toolkit, and American communities, industries, and first responders need RDID’s capabilities to build safer, smarter drone ecosystems.
