On Monday, the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission banned all foreign-made drones from distribution in the US, citing “national security concerns.” Americans who own older foreign drones will be able to use these features, the government said.
In real paper published Monday, the FCC said that “terrorists, foreign terrorists, and criminals” could use drones “to pose new and dangerous threats to our nation.” Therefore, the organization said it has changed its policy List Covered– which is a list of things that “seem to present an unacceptable risk to the national security” of the country – including “UAS and UAS critical components manufactured abroad.”
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said Monday he approved the policy. “I welcome the Executive Branch’s national security determination, and I am pleased that the FCC has now added foreign drones and similar devices, which pose a threat to national security, to the FCC’s Cover List,” Carr said. “Following President Trump’s leadership, the FCC will work closely with U.S. drone manufacturers to end American drone control.”
The new law will obviously affect many different companies, but it will have to fight against the Chinese drone manufacturer DJI, which is currently thought to be a great actor in the drone industry worldwide. Indeed, DJI is considered one of the leading brands The most popular types of drones for American consumers.
When reached for comment by TechCrunch, DJI said it was rejecting the decision. “DJI is disappointed by the Federal Communications Commission’s decision today to add drones manufactured by other countries to the Cover List.
The company, which said it remained committed to the US market, continued: “As an industry leader, DJI has promoted an open, competitive market that benefits both US consumers and commercial users, and will continue to do so. DJI’s products are among the safest and most secure on the market, backed by years of audits by US government agencies and independent third parties.”
In his several presidential terms, Trump repeatedly he played solid football and Chinese companies. His administration laid the groundwork for the new drone ban and a general rule it passed in June that it wanted increase production of US-made drones and thus promotes a “robust and secure drone sector,” and also protects “United States drone delivery facilities against foreign control or hijacking.”
