Establishment of the Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational ResilienceCritical Infrastructure (ANCHOR-CI)
CISA establishes ANCHOR-CI to enhance critical infrastructure resilience, which may lead to new requirements for drone operators in sensitive airspace or infrastructure sectors.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Commercial Drone (Part 107) Rules space on July 5, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated Low urgency. Commercial drone operators (Part 107) working near critical infrastructure or in sectors like energy, transportation, or utilities. should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: None currently; stay informed over next 6-12 months..
