Jordan advances drone manufacturing plan
The article reports that Jordan intends to expand its drone (unmanned aircraft) industry through a national plan spanning from 2026 to 2036, with the goal of building an integrated local industry that includes manufacturing, software, electronics, and navigation systems. This effort aims to strengthen the national economy and reduce reliance on imports. In 2025, the government issued new regulations to organize the use and operation of drones, opening up various fields such as tourism marketing, crop monitoring, and logistics services, and permitting licenses for manufacturing and maintenance companies. Additionally, the Tafila Technical University introduced a new specialization in unmanned aerial vehicles to support the development of national competencies. The government also confirmed that the drone industry will contribute to economic diversification, add value, create jobs, and increase exports. Currently, Jordanian companies are applying for licenses to own drones, with expectations of increased production and enhanced local capabilities as part of a national strategy aimed at the sustainability and development of the sector.
