Mobilicom Limited, a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, announced that its products have been included in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) first batch of 'Trusted Drones' as determined by the U.S. Department of War (DoW). This designation exempts Mobilicom's product portfolio from the DoW's Covered List restrictions, which prohibit the import and sale of certain foreign-made drones and critical components into the U.S. through the end of 2026.

Why it matters

This exemption underscores the importance of Mobilicom's technologies to U.S. defense and national security programs, as the company is one of only a limited number granted such an exemption. The recognition reflects Mobilicom's position as a comprehensive, end-to-end provider of secure drone and robotics technologies.

The details

The exemption applies across nearly all of Mobilicom's full suite of offerings, including the SkyHopper product family, Mobile Ground Control Stations, OS3 Cybersecurity software, and ICE electronic warfare protection & datalink cybersecurity software. Mobilicom's selection reflects factors such as the prior inclusion of its SkyHopper product family solutions in the DoW's Blue UAS Select Framework and the company's role in supporting the operational readiness of next-generation unmanned systems.

• Mobilicom expects to manufacture its cybersecure mission-critical systems in the U.S. by the end of 2026.

What they’re saying

What’s next

To meet growing demand and the DoW's Made-in-America requirement, Mobilicom will be expanding production into the U.S. and aims to be manufacturing domestically by the end of 2026.
