But their article notes it's "a decision with the potential to ground thousands of machines deployed by police and fire departments across the US."The president already signed anexecutive orderin June targeting "foreign control or exploitation" of America's drone supply chain. That came after Congress mandated a review to determine whether DJI deserves inclusion in a federal register of companies believed to endanger national security. If DJI doesn't get a clean bill of health for Christmas, it could join Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and ZTE Corp.on that Federal Communications Commission list.The fleet used by public safety agencies nationwide exceeds about 25,000 aircraft, said Chris Fink, founder of Unmanned Vehicle Technologies LLC, a Fayetteville, Arkansas-based firm that advises law-enforcement clients. The overwhelming majority of those drones — called uncrewed aerial vehicles — comes from China, said Jon Beal.Currently, at least half a dozen states havetargeted DJIand other Chinese-manufactured drones, including restrictions in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. A Nevada law prohibiting public agencies from using Chinese drones took effect in January... One North Dakota sheriff's department complains U.S.-made drones are "at least double and triple the price out of the gate," according to the article, which adds that public safety officials "say it's difficult to find domestic alternatives that match DJI in price and performance."And DJI "wants an extension on the security review," according to the article, "saying Tuesday is too soon to make a conclusion."
who cares, we can just reverse engineer their drones and make them ourselvesyou know, like they do
>>524103248why haven't we made a drone that can pitch 90° and fly horizontally whilst shutting down 3 of the 4 motors during horizontal flight so their free-spinning rpm's can feed electricity back into the batteriesalso why don't we have drones that can shoot targets with guns yet
