The FCC is planning to target even more products in its drone ban, including those it previously approved, and DJI has issued a call to action in response. The federal agency is proposing to prohibit models equipped with certain capabilities, like thermal imaging, LiDAR sensing and aerosol dispensing. Any new ban would not affect drones already in the hands of buyers.
In a public notice posted last month, the FCC “seeks comment on extending this prohibition to categories of drones viewed by the US government as having military capability or posing particular national security risks.” The proposed expansion would also restrict drones that can “integrate defense articles, those that use docking stations” and “swarming drones.”
