DJI Challenges U.S. Ban with Security Review Results

DJI, the world's leading dronemaker from China, has told U.S. lawmakers that its drones are secure, based on an independent external review. The company is appealing to Washington to overturn a ban on its latest products.

This comes after DJI initiated a lawsuit in February against the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's December decision to prohibit imports of its new models and critical components.

A letter obtained by Reuters reveals that DJI hired a U.S.-based security firm to conduct a thorough examination, which concluded there was no evidence of data being transmitted outside of the United States.
