The urgent need for supply chain resiliency is increasing interest in onshoring, reshoring, and nearshoring strategies.

Many supply chain executives have been able to prove their worth since the early 2020s, during disruptions including factory shutdowns in China, the obstruction of the Suez Canal, the shift to online shopping (and back again), and the shift from hospitality to supermarkets (and back again). And last year, all the chaos was compounded by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions.

I have written about drones a lot here in the past, and all the practical (and often times impractical) applications they have been used for. I saw an interesting story earlier this week about how a police department in a small Maryland city is using drones in its effort to thwart illegal dirt bike riding within city limits. Police in Hagerstown are deploying a surprisingly large fleet of low-cost drones and training more than 20 percent of the department’s officers on how to fly them.
