Through US military use, drones provide flexibility for governments managing diverse security challenges making them valuable in dynamic environments.

Strengthening security through US drones

United States drones and AAM platforms address key security challenges.

Long-endurance drones monitor borders and strengthen counter-terrorism operations. Maritime patrol drones protect coastal areas and shipping lanes.

While other drones safeguard critical infrastructure and support rescue and relief missions.

Advanced Air Mobility aircrafts deliver supplies or evacuate people from isolated areas offering scalable solutions for defense and humanitarian needs.

Building partnerships through innovation and reliability

The US remains a trusted partner to the region. Partnerships with US firms provide advanced technology, expert training and seamless system integration.

Decades of cooperation make the US a partner of choice for drone and mobility development.

These partnerships deliver innovation and long-term strategic value. The US continues to strengthen relationships through reliable and cutting-edge solutions.

US leadership in defense drone technology

The US pioneered modern drone technology for military intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. These systems have evolved into tools for both defense and civilian use.

According to Grand View Research, the US drone market was valued at $25 billion in 2024, highlighting America’s dominance in North America’s unmanned aerial vehicle industry.

Drones now feature better sensors, longer range and greater endurance. Artificial intelligence enables independent operation, even in GPS-denied environments.

Strong cybersecurity and communication systems protect drones from interference. The Department of War ensure rigorous testing for safety and performance.

Expanding horizons with Advanced Air Mobility

Advanced Air Mobility represents the next phase of aerial technology. It uses electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and autonomous systems for short-range transport and logistics.

NASA calls AAM a major step toward efficient air travel for people and goods across cities and regions. Its benefits include reduced congestion, faster deliveries and better disaster response.

Ninety-two US cities and airports are planning AAM infrastructure. The same technologies used in defense drones are now powering next-generation mobility platforms.

US innovation on display at Dubai Airshow

The Dubai Airshow showcases US advances in drones and AAM. American companies demonstrate how these technologies support both defense and civilian goals.

Visitors can explore the US pavilion to see AI-enabled drones, eVTOL aircraft and secure communication systems.

The event highlights America’s leadership in shaping the future of air mobility and regional security.

Drones and Advanced Air Mobility represent a turning point in defense. The US leads with innovation, reliability and partnerships, ensuring safer and more secure skies for the future.
