Chinese-made drone ban moves forward
Drones have been making the news of late, from mysterious drones overhead to folks being arrested at airports for operating drones in restricted airspaces to legislation to ban Chinese-made drones on FCC-regulated bandwidth.

Joining us today is agriculture drone expert Arthur Erickson, CEO of Hylio, a Houston, Texas-based designer, manufacturer and provider of drones for crop applications, wetland and forestry management and more.

Among the topics to be discussed will be the Countering CCP Drones Act which has been included in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Without Congress taking action to intervene, Chinese drone manufacturers DJI and Autel will automatically be included on the FCC Covered List and barred from operating on FCC-regulated bandwidth.
