Important: Blue UAS is DoD-Specific
Blue UAS certification and procurement rules apply only to Department of Defense purchases. Unless you work for the DoD or in a defense-adjacent role, Blue UAS requirements likely don't apply to your operations. Public Safety, Law Enforcement, and Fire Departments typically require NDAA-compliant drones, not Blue UAS.
Key Distinction
All Blue UAS drones are NDAA-compliant, but not all NDAA-compliant drones are Blue UAS. We help you determine which certification level your mission requires.
