The U.S. may restrict or ban Chinese drones like DJI over national security concerns, citing risks of data breaches and links to Beijing’s military. Public comments open until March 4.
The U.S. Commerce Department is considering rules to restrict or ban Chinese drones, citing national security concerns.
It is seeking public input by March 4 on measures to protect the drone supply chain, warning that Chinese and Russian threats could allow adversaries to access sensitive U.S. data remotely.
China dominates U.S. commercial drone sales, with DJI, the world's largest drone maker, accounting for over half of them.
Recently, President Joe Biden signed legislation that could ban DJI and Autel Robotics from selling new models in the U.S. unless a government agency determines within a year that they do not pose security risks.
In September, the House voted to ban DJI drones, while the Defense Department added DJI to a list of companies allegedly linked to Beijing's military. DJI disputes these claims, including allegations of forced labor and data security risks, stating its manufacturing processes comply with regulations.
Congress has previously prohibited the Pentagon from using Chinese-made drones or components.
