DJI could be banned from launching new products in US under proposed bill

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - China-based DJI could be banned from launching new drones in the United States market under an annual military bill set to be voted on later this week by the U.S. House.

The 1,800-page bill says a national security agency must determine within one year if drones from DJI or equipment from Autel Robotics 688208.SS pose unacceptable national security risks.

DJI said if no agency completes the study, it would be automatically added to the Federal Communications Commission's "Covered List." DJI said that would mean the company "would be prevented from launching new products in the U.S. market through no fault of its own, but simply because no agency chose to take on the work of studying our products."
