The D.C. Circuit reversed part of DJI's Pentagon blacklist loss, ruling a judge upheld a fully redacted justification without reading the classified record.
Trump's Section 232 drone tariffs start September 3. Thermal aircraft pay 100%, everything else 25%, and two Trump-linked drone stocks jumped on the news.
In this week's US drone news update, I cover the DARPA Lift Challenge results, a drone-delivered defibrillator that saved a man's life in Sweden, and the FCC proposal that could pull already-approved DJI drones like the Mini 5 Pro and Air 3S off the shelves.
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo is selling for $3,500 on Amazon, a $499 cut from list. Deal sites call it a record low. DroneXL's archive says the same combo hit $3,400 in June. And the FCC's pending LiDAR proposal reaches this drone, which matters more than the last $100.
DJI put the Osmo 360 II on sale in China at 3,299 yuan, about $460, with native 8K60 panoramic video, swappable lenses, and 105GB of storage — while its US store answers the launch with a 404 page.
I expected a blowout between DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra. Instead, the real separation came down to D-Log 2, slow motion in log, two very different remotes — and where you can actually buy one.
Sen. John Kennedy told the FCC's own lawyer the agency scares him. He meant television. Drone pilots staring down Docket 26-189 know the feeling.
Cameras on the Royal Navy's K3 Scout sea drones sent heartbeat signals to a Chinese IP address. Kraken says the units were NDAA-compliant.
One email with the drone news that matters — DJI, FAA, public safety, and everything in between, straight from the newsroom. No spam, no fluff.
