DJI Ban Evolution over the past month. -->At First, industry advocates stated there was no security issue with DJI. 1. We proved that wasn't true, thanks to some help. There is a very real problem and then DJI admitted to it by removing flight sync. https://lnkd.in/gbjKnCHe 2. WE later learned, speaking with White House Advisors, that the US Government has no plan to subsidize other manufacturers or domestic groups. (unless you apply for DARPA money) 3. WE asked on instagram, if there is no plan, should there be a ban? Almost 200,000 people have engaged one way or another (total engagement was 338,677) 4. What does the DJI Ban really look like? Can you fly your old DJI drones? Yes. The drone market will be the equivalent to cuba's car market. New DJI drones will not be allowed, same with the white labeled DJI drones. 😉 5. Where does this leave us? Congress just approved the NDAA that has the CCP #DJIBAN included. Now it's headed to the Senate then to the Presidents desk. The bill will have a $116 Billion Dollar impact on the drone industry. How will you be prepared for this sweeping change? https://lnkd.in/ghJdtUSj
Proof of the DJI Hack and how it might impact the DJI Ban.

🛰️ The introduction of the Raptor series by Anzu Robotics may signal a significant shift in the U.S. drone market. If these drones deliver on their security promises, they could ignite robust competition against industry giants like Skydio and Freefly. Read More: https://lnkd.in/gpWc3z2Q Anzu Robotics has just launched the Raptor and Raptor T drones, a major development designed to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape affecting global drone markets. These new drones bear a striking resemblance to the popular Mavic 3 Enterprise, featuring production sourced from Malaysia coupled with cutting-edge American software. 🚀 As Anzu Robotics takes this bold step, the industry watches keenly. Could this be the turning point for the U.S. drone market? Let’s keep our eyes to the skies and watch how this unfolds. #AnzuRobotics #RaptorDrone #DroneTechnology #Innovation #MarketShift #GlobalSecurity #AerialTechnology

We are in redibly excited to announce the launch of our new Cell Tower Inspection Course! 🚀 At Drone U, we've constructed and designed mock cell towers to provide hands-on training for our students. With maximized flight time and immersive practice, we ensure proficiency upon completion. Last year, we empowered numerous drone pilots to build scalable recurring revenue businesses solely on cell tower inspections. Join us at Drone U- where top gun drone training meets the ultimate practice facility! #CellTowerInspections #DroneTraining #TopGunDroneTraining"

Rethinking the Move to Ban DJI Drones In the realm of drone technology, a decision looms that could significantly impact the industry and its stakeholders. The proposition to ban DJI drones, citing data privacy concerns, is a move that, while rooted in genuine security issues, feels both impetuous and oversimplified. It's crucial to acknowledge that the concern regarding DJI drones potentially leaking data to Chinese servers is valid. However, the proposed blanket ban is a solution that overlooks the extensive repercussions it would have on millions of drone pilots, veterans, and businesses. For years, professionals across various industries have relied on DJI drones for their efficiency, effectiveness, and cutting-edge technology. Drone U has been at the forefront, advocating for a more nuanced solution to this problem since 2016, long before it became a mainstream concern. The suggestion to eliminate internet access from drones addresses the core issue without the collateral damage of a ban. Drones, as they stand, require internet connectivity for activation, diagnostic reporting, and downloading necessary maps for automated missions. A thoughtful approach, such as air-gapping drones while ensuring that maps can be pre-loaded, offers a viable solution that addresses security concerns without crippling the industry. Furthermore, the irony of the situation cannot be ignored. Even as discussions about banning DJI drones persist, reports indicate that the U.S. government continues to proxy purchase significant quantities of DJI's output to support efforts in Ukraine. This dichotomy raises questions about the consistency and logic behind the proposed ban. The path forward should not involve regressive policy-making. Instead, it's time for drone pilots and all those impacted by this potential ban to unite. We must collectively advocate for smarter, more nuanced policies that safeguard security without undermining an entire industry. I urge you to contact your congressmen and women, educate them on the complexities of this issue, and push for a reconsideration of the ban on DJI drones. The drone industry is at a critical juncture. Let's ensure its future is shaped by informed decisions and thoughtful policies, not reactionary bans. Your voice matters—make it heard.
