Teen Entrepreneur Takes on China’s Drone Dominance in U.S. Market
An 18-year-old entrepreneur has launched a drone startup to reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese-made drones. Tom Rein, founder of Tom’s Aerial Vehicles (TAV), aims to supply domestic hardware for public safety agencies. His company recently secured early funding from a university-backed investment programme.
Tom Rein established TAV to tackle a growing issue in American law enforcement. Over 1,400 police departments currently use drones, most of which come from DJI, a Chinese manufacturer. His startup plans to produce alternative hardware within the United States.
TAV’s entry into the drone market comes as U.S. agencies seek alternatives to foreign-made technology. The company’s focus on domestic production targets a clear demand among public safety organizations. Rein’s startup will now work to develop and scale its hardware solutions.
