The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to ban certain foreign-made drones classified as 'military grade' due to national security risks, affecting popular models including those from DJI. The ban will prohibit their importation, marketing, and sale across the US.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Drones & UAV.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face immediate loss of US market access if your drone product includes military-grade components or capabilities. Cut reliance on restricted technologies now or plan for fierce US supply chain disruption.
