Скачать или смотреть Chinese Trojan Horses in U.S. Airspace - The DJI Drone Question

DJI drones are widely used across the United States - from private operators to law-enforcement and even defense-related environments. But what happens when a foreign-manufactured aerial system enters sensitive airspace?

This presentation examines the security implications of Chinese-made DJI drones operating within U.S. borders, the lessons from China’s high-altitude balloon incident, and the national-security paradox of relying on foreign tech for American critical-data missions.

Key themes include:
• Dependence on DJI drones for mapping & surveillance
• DoD restrictions vs. private sector continued use
• Whether drone data can be accessed or transferred by foreign actors
• Cybersecurity complacency and the risk of blind trust
• The need for operator qualifications & ASPRS-compliant UAS workflows

Ultimately, the threat isn’t just external - it’s internal complacency. As cyber and airborne intelligence evolve, so must our standards, training, and vigilance.
