- The Countering CCP Drones Act was left out of the final FY25 NDAA bill, solidifying the opportunity for Chinese drone manufacturers, including DJI, to sell their drones freely in the U.S. without any major restrictive regulations.
- If that list existed, DJI’s ability to operate within certain communication spectrums crucial for drone control would be limited.
- The omission of this provision in the final NDAA means that DJI can freely operate and sell its drones within the U.S.
- DJI, which holds a commanding share of the global drone market, has faced growing scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers in recent years.

- The availability of DJI technology plays a critical role in many sectors.
- Although the Countering CCP Drones Act did not make it into the FY25 NDAA, debate over DJI’s role in the U.S. market is far from over.
