US Army and Navy ordered to halt use of DJI drones

The U.S. Army has ordered its members to stop using drones made by Chinese manufacturer SZ DJI Technology because of "cyber vulnerabilities." The directive applies to all DJI drones and systems that use DJI components or software. It requires service members to "cease all use, uninstall all DJI applications, remove all batteries and storage media and secure equipment for follow-on direction." DJI has about 70% of the global commercial and consumer drone market according to Goldman Sachs analysts. The market, including military, is expected to be worth more than $100 billion over the next five years.
