No More DJI drones? Your thoughts?

[UltraBudgie]

My guess is that the GPS/vidcap tech in the equipment DJI is making is either implementationally modular --  loosely couple via an insecure bus -- or doesn't have a sufficient secure substrate with common access to support guaranteeing that it will operationally meet national security requirements.  The desired embeds likely add camera operational modulation via GPS keying, as well as, for higher resolutions and advanced lensing, data acquisition stream filtering via content analysis implemented in onboard FPGA fabric.  As with similar challenges in cars, phones, and printers, it's up to the manufacturer to ensure supply and manufacturing chain conformance, and some of these smaller fly-by-night outfits don't cut it, especially when other countries cut corners and don't separate their mil and civ tech as efficiently as we do.
