flag DJI loses court challenge to U.S. military blacklist, but ban delayed until 2026.

flag Drone maker DJI is challenging the U.S. Defense Department’s 2024 designation of it as a “Chinese Military Company,” arguing the label lacks solid evidence and is applied inconsistently. flag A court dismissed most Pentagon claims, including direct CCP control, but upheld the ban based on DJI’s status as a National Enterprise Technology Center—a common government award—and the dual-use nature of its drones. flag DJI says the recognition is routine, its products are designed for civilian use with safety features like geofencing, and it has never made military equipment. flag Despite the ruling, federal agencies will be barred from buying DJI drones starting in 2026, and new models are already excluded from the U.S. market.
