US Army calls for units to discontinue use of DJI equipment
https://www.suasnews.com/2017/08/us-army-calls-units-discontinue-use-dji-eq= uipment/
According to a U.S. Army memo obtained by sUAS News, the U.S. Army Research Lab and U.S. Navy have concluded that there are operational risks associated with DJI equipment, a move that was run up the flag pole last month but kept under wraps.
Speaking to sUAS News via e-mail, DJI=E2=80=99s Public Relations Manager, Michael Perry said:
We are surprised and disappointed to read reports of the U.S. Army=E2= =80=99s unprompted restriction on DJI drones as we were not consulted during their decision. We are happy to work directly with any organization, including the U.S. Army, that has concerns about our management of cyber issues.
We=E2=80=99ll be reaching out to the U.S. Army to confirm the memo and = to understand what is specifically meant by =E2=80=98cyber vulnerabilities=E2= =80=99.
Three weeks ago we ran a special show to highlight concerns being raised by cyber security experts.
