Beginning November 7th, the Federal Aviation Administration will restrict drone usage over facilities crucial to national security.
The list of 60 new facilities comes from the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense. Both organizations have had issues with malicious drone activity.
This step is long overdue, after previous drone bans over military installations. Granite Signals expects to see more bans of this kind in the future.
