Recently, SUAS News learned from the internal memorandum of the US Army that the US Army currently requires all units to stop using UAVs because of the increasing number of network vulnerabilities in DJI products. The memo pointed out that the Army had previously issued more than 300 orders to allow the use of DJI drones to perform missions, which means that many DJI drones may be actively used before the August 2, 2017 memo. Previously, the US Army Memorandum even reported that they issued more than 300 separate airworthiness orders for Dajiang products to support various missions of multiple organizations.
According to a statement issued by Dajiang, people all over the world rely on DJI products and technologies for various purposes, including sensitive and mission-critical tasks. The US Army made a no-fly decision without consulting the Dajiang. Dajiang was surprised and disappointed with the decision of the US Army. Dajiang is pleased to work directly with any organization, including the US Army, to detect and resolve network issues of concern to them. Dajiang will lend a helping hand to the US military, confirm the memorandum, and understand the specific meaning of the network loophole. Before that, Dajiang asked everyone to avoid unnecessary guesswork.
In my opinion, the decision of the US Army is likely to be exactly the same as the wave of boycotting Huawei in the past, which is a huge distrust of Chinese companies, especially in the field of national security such as communications and military. But it is worth pondering that the same is the market economy system. Why does the United States adopt double standards for Chinese companies while advocating free trade and democratic independence? Individuals are embarrassing.
US military:
According to the memo, due to the "cyber vulnerabiliTIes" problem, the various departments of the Army are required to stop the UAVs and equipment and components produced in DJI, uninstall all DJI applications, remove the batteries, and so on.
At the same time, the memo shows that more than 300 DJI products are in service in the US Army and are the most widely used of such off-the-shelf equipment.
Dajiang:
In response, Dajiang issued a statement saying that the US Army did not engage with Dajiang when making this decision. If other companies or organizations have doubts about the UAV drone, they are willing to talk directly to them and explain the issues related to cybersecurity.
DJI also said that personal, commercial and government users around the world are very fond of DJI's products and technologies, and our drones are used in many sensitive and mission-critical tasks. The memo also shows that the US Army has previously approved the use of more than 300 Dajiang products.
Dajiang will also contact the US Army to confirm what the so-called "network security vulnerability" is.
