The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on the 16th that it will allow Chinese new toy drones that meet specific technical specifications to enter the U.S. market for sale. According to Reuters, in December of last year, the FCC banned all new foreign drones and their key components from being imported into the United States, citing "unacceptable risks to U.S. national security," including products from Chinese DJI Innovations and Daotong Intelligent. However, the U.S. Department of Defense believes that "toy-type" products with low technical content and controllable risks do not pose a national security threat. Based on the department's investigation, these types of drones do not possess the "built-in functions and features" of traditional drones in terms of flight distance, endurance, sensing capabilities, payload capacity, connectivity, and data collection and storage. The FCC has strict restrictions on toy drones, including a weight limit of no more than 150 grams, operation within line of sight and no more than 100 meters away, no connectivity or network functions, no cameras or sensors capable of surveillance or data collection, and a maximum single flight time of no more than 10 minutes. Any models exceeding these parameters will still be subject to the original ban. (Huanqiu.com)
