drones over new jersey

Written By Eric Holdeman

The news about drones being seen in the night sky over New Jersey is the first widescale news about drones being spotted across a wide area of a state (now expanding to other states) and drawing national attention. Drones are no longer a novelty in American airspace.

If you have an interest in the topic, I suggest you check out this website https://cuashub.com/ that has tons of information about current events and drone developments in general.

And, if you want a podcast on the topic of drones, listen to this Disaster Zone Podcast: Deploying C-UAS to Protect the Homeland from December of last year.

Some basics about drones include:

  • The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the administrative agency for drones

  • If you keep them under 400 feet, you are not violating airspace

  • There are places where drone flight is restricted, such as near airports and military bases

  • Other drone regulations are a hodgepodge on a state-by-state basis

  • DOD is not a player

For those who dislike or fear federal regulation—you should have no concerns whatsoever!
