Chinese Manufacturer Challenges US National Security Designation

DJI has filed a lawsuit against the US Federal Communications Commission after the agency added its drones to the Covered List, effectively blocking new imports and sales in the United States. The FCC’s action was based on a national security determination tied to the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act. DJI argues that the FCC overstepped its authority and imposed restrictions without identifying a specific national security threat. The case is part of a broader US effort to limit Chinese drone sales over national security concerns, as reported by AeroTime.
