US bars approvals of new models of DJI, all other foreign drones

The FCC has added DJI, Autel, and other foreign-made drones to its list of companies posing security risks, barring approvals of new drone models for import or sale in the U.S. Existing drones are not affected. DJI claims the ban risks law enforcement drone programs. The move escalates U.S. efforts to crack down on Chinese drones, citing security threats from unauthorized surveillance and data exfiltration.
