Drones manufactured by Da Jiang Innovation that were previously used by the U.S. government have not transferred data to the Chinese company or China\u2019s government, according to a report published Tuesday by consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton.<\/p>\n
The study is the latest to call into question allegations from several lawmakers who have pushed for federal agencies to stop using Chinese-made drones over worries that they share data with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the allegation that we’ve seen the past two years or more repeated by policymakers and in some cases our competitors as a reason to enact policy that would take away the ability to choose which products to use in a mission,\u201d Brendan Schulman, DJI\u2019s vice president of policy, told The Hill in an interview.<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of those have been accompanied by evidence or analysis demonstrating that there’s a factual basis behind the allegation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Booz Allen Hamilton, which has no business ties to DJI, said it found no evidence of unauthorized data transmissions in its analysis of three drone models used at one point by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n
DJI, one of the world\u2019s largest manufacturers of drones, has long held that no data is transferred from its drones to either the CCP or the company itself. Users have the option of storing the images and videos collected by the drones on DJI-run servers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
