On July 17, 2025, Michigan established the Michigan Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Initiative as a whole-of-government strategy to scale Michigan’s AAM capabilities, ensure safe and efficient integration of these technologies across public and private sectors, and position our workforce, manufacturers, and infrastructure as national assets in the deployment of AAM technologies. This Initiative will support the Unleashing American Drone Dominance Executive Federal Orders from June of 2025.
Michigan is mobilizing its industrial base, including manufacturing, engineering, and logistics infrastructure, to accelerate the full lifecycle of next-generation drone technologies. This includes building, testing, commercializing, and scaling - aligned with our competitive advantages within and adjacent to our core industrial base.
The Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification released the inaugural Advanced Air Mobility annual report, highlighting considerable momentum toward its effort to build the nation’s most comprehensive, equitable, and competitive aerial mobility ecosystem. The report finds that Michigan steered over $42 million in public and private sector investment toward AAM-related initiatives in 2025, attracting cutting-edge innovation to the state and laying the groundwork to support new opportunities for Michiganders.

OFME is leading a statewide strategy to build up Michigan’s AAM capabilities. This plan will focus on safely integrating drones in both the public and private sectors, while also preparing our workforce, manufacturers, and infrastructure to support this new technology. Michigan is positioned to lead the charge by building a strong and secure drone sector in the U.S. by our manufacturing abilities, skilled engineering talent, and our statewide assets to build, test, and implement AAM technologies at scale.
