Compliance in the Drone Industry: Why ITAR-Free and NDAA-Compliant Matters

In a world where regulations, security standards, and international partnerships are constantly evolving, compliance is no longer optional—it’s essential. At Tactical AI, we understand the complexity of working with defence clients, national infrastructure, and high-net-worth individuals. That’s why our entire fleet of AI-powered drones is proudly ITAR-free and NDAA-compliant.



What Does ITAR-Free & NDAA-Compliant Actually Mean?


  • ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) limits the use and export of US defence technologies.

  • NDAA (National Defense Authorisation Act) compliance prohibits the use of certain foreign-made hardware, primarily from Chinese manufacturers.


Tactical AI’s systems are engineered and manufactured exclusively within the UK and EU, featuring zero Chinese componentry. This ensures seamless deployment in government-sensitive environments, without the red tape, risks, or restrictions tied to US-export controlled platforms.



Why It Matters in Today’s Drone Sector


🛡 Trusted for Defence & Government Use


From NATO operations to Security Agencies, our unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are built to meet the highest security standards. Our drones are designed with thermal cameras, infrared imaging, and electro-optical systems, making them perfect for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and critical incident response.

Our systems are used for airport drone services, gas installation surveys, power station inspections, and even reservoir drone surveys. The lack of ITAR constraints means procurement is straightforward. Furthermore, cross-border operations are simplified, which is vital for partners working in multi-national infrastructure projects.
