"There should not be that fear." Tom and Ranking Member @RepLaMonica discuss the chaos that drones caused in New Jersey last December. Tom asserts that no one, especially a member of Congress, should be in the dark about what's happening in our skies.

At the 2025 #AIAAAVIATION Forum, Andy Thurling built on Tom's message to Congress, warning that without stronger policy enforcement, unauthorized flights will continue to put critical operations like wildfire suppression and disaster response at risk. buff.ly/qEtxXOd

"We don’t have awareness of our airspace. We don’t have a common operating picture. We can’t look at a picture, and see all of the drones and manned aircraft and say, ‘Here’s who this is and here’s what they’re doing.’" - Tom Walker, CEO of DroneUp foxnews.com/us/americas-sk…

Tom and @RepCarlos discuss the critical balance between knowing what's in the sky and being able to respond in real-time. Spoiler alert: both are simultaneously important. Get a breakdown of the hearing or watch a full replay: droneup.com/news/congressi…

One thing about Tom, he's gonna beat that drum 🥁 We’re encouraged to see @RepEliCrane and the Homeland Security Subcommittee echo the importance of addressing uncrewed aircraft threats with coordinated, modern solutions.

As drones become widely-available & increasingly sophisticated, they must be taken seriously as a potential homeland security threat. @RepCarlos asked witnesses to describe counter-drone authorities & sounded the alarm on how adversaries could weaponize drones against the U.S.

A clear message from yesterday's hearing: drone threats are imminent, and we urgently need an integrated airspace management system to address them. As Chairman @RepCarlos warned, we didn’t see 9/11 coming, but we do see this coming. The tech exists. We just need to act. Now.

SOON: @RepCarlos is holding a hearing to discuss how drone warfare abroad is reshaping threats to the homeland. Ukraine's use of widely-accessible drones against Russia "should have been a wake-up call for us"—in the event our adversaries do the same. youtube.com/watch?v=ijUHDC…

A drone collided with a rescue helicopter during TX flood response, forcing it to abort the mission. This happened during a life-saving operation, amidst unspeakable tragedy. Situations like this are entirely preventable with proper airspace coordination. flyingmag.com/drone-strikes-…
