The FCC could start banning DJI drones that have previously been approved, and DJI isn't happy about it
Drones that have previously been approved for sale in the US might soon be removed from stores.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States is considering a proposal that could lead to the withdrawal of certain DJI drones from the market. These drones, previously approved for civilian use, would be banned retroactively if they contain military-grade features or use specific technologies. DJI has expressed strong disapproval of the FCC's decision, asserting that it contradicts earlier bans on DJI products without proper security audits.
The company argues that the move will impose additional costs and difficulties for U.S. operators, farmers, and small businesses that rely on DJI equipment. Commenting on the proposal is open until September 2, allowing the public to voice their opinions and explain their use of drones in non-military contexts.
