Here’s something DJI buyers don’t want to hear: your drone price might not have been negotiable. An Australian agricultural drone distributor has admitted it illegally tried to stop resellers from discounting DJI products, triggering action from the country’s competition regulator.

While we’re only a few months into the FCC’s official ban on new DJI products, we’ve been struggling with the issues for over a year now. DJI’s most capable and state-of-the-art drones never became available in the US, but some retailers are still getting their hands on them.

The United States Army is doubling down on a new way to stop hostile drones, not just with missiles or jammers, but with AI-powered nets in the sky. Utah-based Fortem Technologies says it has secured a three-year, $18 million contract to deploy its DroneHunter interceptors and support services at Army sites worldwide. The deal is aimed at strengthening defenses against what military leaders increasingly see as one of the most urgent battlefield (and homeland) threats: small, unauthorized drones.

After filing its appeal in federal court, drone maker DJI is now laying out why it believes the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to blacklist the company is unlawful, harmful, and unsupported by evidence. In comments shared with DroneDJ, a DJI spokesperson said the company is “challenging the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to prohibit DJI from marketing, selling, and importing new products into the United States.”
