Are your drone systems compliant with NDAA regulations?
Civilian platforms have a General Export Authorization for exports to Australia, Canada, Iceland, Japan,
New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Lone Star Tactical Solutions Inc. (LSTS) is exclusively working to ensure NDAA-compliance is obtained and that our drones become Blue UAS listed in the very near future. If interested in becoming our government sponsor email info@lonests.org today. We are registered with SAM.gov and are compliant and eligiable to bid on government contracts and to recieve government assitance/grants.
🔧 Why NDAA Compliance Matters for LSTS:
• Enables eligibility for U.S. government contracts, including:
• DHS, CBP, DoD, DOJ, FEMA, and state/local law enforcement agencies.
• Ensures cybersecurity, airspace integrity, and trustworthy ISR operations.
• Supports integration with federal and state C2 systems without red flags during acquisition vetting.
• LSTS can provide compliance documentation and origin traceability for all mission-critical drone components upon request.
🔐 Compliance Statement
All drone systems fielded by LSTS are either:
• -compliant, meaning:
• No components are sourced from prohibited entities (e.g., DJI, Autel, or Chinese-origin manufacturers listed under Section 889 of the FY19 NDAA).
• All communications modules, flight controllers, data storage units, and payloads are either U.S.-made or sourced from allied, vetted manufacturers.
• Firmware is free of backdoors or restricted code, and every aircraft undergoes a supply chain security vetting process.
• In partnership with vetted manufacturers, including DeltaQuad (EU-based) and U.S. component integrators to maintain Blue UAS pathway eligibility.
