U.S. Interior Department Grounds Its Chinese-Made Drones

The Interior Department has temporarily halted the use of non-emergency drones, many of which are Chinese-made or contain Chinese parts, due to cybersecurity concerns. The department's review of its drone program highlights potential risks of information being valuable to foreign entities. Drones will still be used for emergencies like wildfires and rescues. DJI, a Chinese drone manufacturer, criticized the decision as politically motivated and called for clear standards to evaluate drone technology. The order remains until further notice.
