New U.S. restrictions on foreign-made drones could reshape the industry — and give Washington state a major opening. Brinc Drones CEO Blake Resnick says the region’s existing players and aerospace talent position Seattle to benefit as domestic manufacturers scale up.

Americans won’t be able to buy new models from DJI, the Chinese maker of most of the world’s drones. But U.S. pilots can keep the drones they have.

The FCC move, which does not affect existing DJI models, is a significant escalation in Washington’s battle to crack down on Chinese drones.
