A searing report in the major US government-funded Voice of America has spotlighted that despite growing controversy over Chinese tech and communications products used in American government, especially in light of the recent Huawei affair, the Air Force and Navy have continued to rely on Chinese-manufactured drones for elite forces even months following a prior DoD ban on their use.
Despite a May 2018 formal Pentagon order which prohibits “all commercial off-the-shelf drones,” by US armed forces, which cited “cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” it appears some of the military’s most elite squads are still relying on them.
Apparently a ‘special exemption’ is required for special forces to continue using Chinese drones “on a case by case basis, to support urgent needs,” according to a Pentagon spokesman cited by VOA.
According to documents examined by VOA:
…purchase orders completed in August and November 2018 show that the Navy spent nearly $190,000 and the Air Force spent nearly $50,000 on drones made by DJI.
The Air Force bought 35 DJI Mavic Pro Platinum drones, and the Navy bought an undisclosed number of drones from DJI’s “Inspire” series.
The 2018 drone purchase orders obtained by VOA via public records appear to be for some of the military’s most sensitive and secretive operators, including the Air Force’s only special tactics wing and Navy Sea Air Land (SEAL) teams.
DJI, it must be remembered, is China’s drone-market-leader Da Jiang Innovations, which Washington officials eyed closely in 2017 on suspicion the company was assisting Beijing in spying efforts abroad, and specifically on the United States government.
