The resolution urges the State of Ohio to expand its domestic drone manufacturing capabilities to enhance competitiveness and national security in light of the growing prevalence of Chinese-manufactured drones. It highlights the increasing use of drones in various sectors, including commercial and military applications, and raises concerns about the reliance on foreign-made drones, particularly regarding data privacy, cybersecurity, and potential foreign influence on critical infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes Ohio's historical strengths in innovation and manufacturing, suggesting that the state could leverage its skilled workforce and research institutions to foster economic development and job creation through the growth of a domestic drone industry.

To achieve these goals, the resolution calls for targeted investments in research and development, workforce training, and partnerships with federal agencies and private industry. It advocates for the creation of a state-level task force to assess security risks associated with foreign drones and recommends strategies to promote domestically produced alternatives. Additionally, the resolution encourages the consideration of tax incentives and grants for businesses focused on developing security and defense-related drone technologies, aiming to position Ohio as a leader in the next generation of drone systems and applications. The resolution concludes by calling on state officials to prioritize the expansion of Ohio's drone manufacturing capabilities as part of broader economic development and national security strategies.
