The U.S. Army has suddenly issued a high-profile ban on the issue -- subordinate units have completely suspended UAVs and related products manufactured by China's Dajiang Company, citing the existence of "network security holes" in DJI's products. It is not surprising that the U.S. military guards and guards against China. The U.S. military has ordered the ban on products that may endanger its national security. It is also within its sovereignty. Surprisingly, in the past, most other countries used their American products when they were jealous, such as fearing that the computer operating system had a "back door" and that the mobile phone automatically leaked secrets. When did China's drone technology become so powerful that it was first favored by the US military and later caused the U.S. military’s concern? On the 7th, Dajiang emphasized to the Global Times reporter that as of now, Dajiang and any country’s military agencies have not cooperated. No matter whether the US military or any national military department obtains Dajiang’s terminal products, it is through the open market channels. Instead of directly sourcing with Dajiang.
Security Vulnerability: Excuses of the U.S. Army
According to a Reuters report on the 5th, an Army memorandum, entitled "Stop Using DJI Innovation Drone System," which was uploaded to the Internet on the 2nd, was verified by Reuters as confirmed by US Army Deputy Chief of Staff Joseph Anderson. The memo shows that Anderson has given instructions that the affiliated unit “fully stopped using the drone and completely removed all of its applications, removed all batteries or stored audio and video, and kept related equipment pending further noticeâ€.
U.S. Columbia Broadcasting Corporation said on the 5th that a Pentagon spokesperson said that the Army has been making a statement on this policy. The US Army Research Laboratory and Navy Research believe that there are risks and loopholes in Dajiang's products, and the Army seems to take relevant measures accordingly. The famous American news news site "fstoppers" said on the 6th that at present, only the United States Army issued a ban. However, given that the U.S. Army memorandum refers to the Navy’s research documents, it can be said that all U.S. military services may have issued the same ban. If not, they can quickly refer to the Army’s policies.
The U.S. military’s action on Chinese-made drones is not without precursors. In May of this year, the U.S. professional drone website SUAS News reported that according to the default settings of the DJI GO 4 application carried by DJI drones, details of flight records including telemetry data, video, and audio will be uploaded to Servers in the United States, China, and Hong Kong. The two reference materials mentioned in the memorandum were all released in May. One is the "Technical Threat and User Vulnerabilities of the Dajiang UAV" of the US Army Research Laboratory, and the other is "About Dajiang Products." Operational Risk" Naval Memorandum.
The "fstoppers" website said on the 6th that the drone is an aircraft that carries a camera and multiple sensors, and that it can lock its position through a GPS system. Drones can also confirm some radio frequency bands. In other words, this is a perfect potential spyware device that can capture high-resolution images and collect accurate location information. Some of the individual images are of little use, but if these image information and data are aggregated together, they can assist in depicting a hologram at a strategic location. Given that DJI drones can record all information in memory and can see it on the DJI application installed on the phone, this information can be obtained by potential enemies.
Dajiang responded to the Global Times on the 7th by saying that the US Army did not communicate with Dajiang on the matter. Dajiang did not understand what the "network loopholes" mentioned in this news were. Dajiang calls on all walks of life not to over-guess and interpret this matter.
According to an English statement issued by the Global Times to the U.S. media, DJI was "surprised" and "disappointed" by the memorandum. DJI will contact the U.S. Army to confirm the authenticity of the memorandum. Understand the specific meaning of "network vulnerability".
Drones to be made in the United States?
What does the U.S. use Chinese-made drones to do? The U.S. "Defense One" website stated that U.S. drones are the most widely used type of U.S. Army equipment of this type, and a total of more than 300 major U.S. military products are in service with the U.S. military. However, Dajiang drones were not used by all U.S. Army, and they were not widely used on the battlefield like U.S.-made drones such as the “Cougarsâ€. Former U.S. Army intelligence officer Brett Vilković said: "The U.S. Army Special Forces are using drones in Syria."
In addition to Syria, the U.S. Columbia Broadcasting Corporation reported that drones manufactured by Dajiang are also used in other areas of the U.S. military. For example, a document on the Ministry of Defense website indicates that the Dajiang drones were used in the operations or exercises of the US Army Corps of Engineers, including flood rescue operations or actions required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition to the Army, the U.S. Air Force also uses this drone. For example, in a research experiment conducted by the Air Force in the Nevada national security area last year, an attacking drone was intercepted by a Dawang interceptor. machine.
Wang Ya-nan, editor-in-chief of Aviation Knowledge, told the “Global Times†reporter on the 7th that starting from the US military’s point of view, there is indeed reason to order the disabling of products that could endanger national security. After all, the security requirements of civilian products and military products are different in many aspects. However, the problem is that the civil drones of Dajiang were acquired by the U.S. military through shelf-type procurement. They do not meet the security requirements of the U.S. military and originally the US military’s review process is not strictly related. As a result, the U.S. military has high-profile underground bans for the outside world. Create an impression that "Chinese products are problems."
Wang Yamin believes that the reason why the US military adopts such a treatment may be to please the US arms dealers on the one hand. The consumer-class drones manufactured by DJI have a wide range of uses in the field of military tactics. The U.S. military verified its performance after a small number of purchases, and then transferred more orders to U.S. arms dealers on a safe excuse. The general government emphasized the political correctness of "Made in the United States." On the other hand, China’s drones have become the main challenger to the U.S. in this area these years. After the U.S. military has detained the UAV’s caps with “security problemsâ€, not only will DJI’s reputation in the civil market be met. The impact can also be used to discredit the overall image of the Chinese drone.
"Drone drone, 'Made in America'?" The German news television station said on the 7th that the U.S. military's refusal to use the "Made in China" UAV is not surprising, because U.S. President Trump has always called for "U.S. priority." Observers believe that the U.S. military may give up Chinese-made drones, and in addition to security reasons, it may also have the intention of supporting local industries.
Do you not need to have more choices?
"Military science and technology are part of China's technological power." The German "Focus" weekly commented that China regards the modernization of the armed forces as "a top priority." And technological innovation is the "key." Military products, or products with military technology, have become part of the "Made in China" exports.
It is worth mentioning that Dajiang is not a military enterprise. DJI emphasized to the Global Times reporter on the 7th that DJI is a manufacturer of civilian consumer-grade and advanced aerial photography vehicles. Products sold around the world mainly face home users and some professional-grade aerial photography users. Shooting dramas, reality shows, advertisements, etc. In addition, DJI also produces vertical industry products such as search and rescue, security, and equipment inspections, but all of them are civilian.
The civilian products made in China are constantly listed on the procurement list of the multinational forces in the world. This is a symbol of China’s increasing strength. The US military has always been wary of "made in China," but it cannot completely avoid it. The US “Quartz†website commented on the 7th that Chinese companies have been responding to the issue of the relationship with the Chinese military or government for a long time, whether this relationship is true or not. For example, the Chinese company's Huawei products in the US have always been a problem. The US military believes that Huawei has relations with the Chinese military. The US government has forbidden its mobile phones from entering the local market until recently. The current problem is that after U.S. drone start-up 3D Robotics exits the consumer-oriented drone market, the United States is also the main manufacturer of drones. If the U.S. military completely banned drones, what are their future choices? The rest is also a group of low-end drone manufacturers in China, as well as French parrot drone products.
According to reports, in the past, when the US military’s military expenditure was sufficient, almost all equipment was specifically tailored for the military, and the price was naturally quite high. Even the purchase price of military equipment such as military boots and helmets was much higher than the market price. However, as the US military’s pockets contracted, the Pentagon found that some military products could be tendered globally using shelf-style procurement, and then select suppliers that meet the standards, which would save a lot of money. However, after that, people constantly looked at "Made in China" to find fault, and even reported that US missiles, fighter planes, and nuclear submarines were mixed into "Chinese inferior chips."
In 2012, the US Senate Armed Services Committee investigated 1800 cases of counterfeit electronic components and discovered that the number of counterfeit electronic components mixed into the US military’s active duty equipment exceeded 1 million, and that “sources of counterfeit goods†exceeded 70% from China. ". Similar reports have caused American public opinion to be filled with complaints that "China is trying to use counterfeit chips to reduce the US military's capability" or even "China's chips have a backdoor program that can allow US troops to collapse in wartime." However, a number of investigations have found that most of the responsibility for this is that of the U.S. "heart merchant." For example, after the Pentagon’s 2013 exposure of “tens of thousands†of scandals of poorly manufactured Chinese chips quietly equipping the U.S. Air Force fighters and missiles, the U.S. Justice Department final investigation found that American businessman Pikang imported counterfeit electronic products from China and disguised them as genuine products. Then it was sold to the U.S. military and profits were made from it. Although the United States has long recognized the serious harm of counterfeit electronic chips, the US military has to emphasize safety supervision issues, reluctantly abandon the high quality and low price brought by global procurement, and have to tighten their belts to live. What is the best of both worlds?
Germany’s Global News Network said on the 7th that the U.S. military’s ownership of Chinese drones has surprised many people. From this we can see the advantages of Chinese drones because the U.S. has always been a military superpower and regards China as a strategic adversary.
Israel’s “Jerusalem Post†stated on the 6th that while the U.S. Army blocked drones, it will continue to use it. This month, the drones ordered by Israel will be delivered to Israel. These drones will be delivered to Israeli infantry in the West Bank and will be used by other border forces. The Israeli Defense Ministry’s statement stated that the Israeli military will use the drone’s limitations and use it for non-secret tasks. ▲
A through-bore slip ring is an electrical device that allows current to pass between two points in a rotating assembly without a physical connection. There is no break in the circuit. This is accomplished by passing the current through a rotating brush that contacts a stationary metal ring. The metal ring is mounted on the shaft of the assembly and provides a continuous path for the current.
It is an integrated circuit component that consists of two conducting rings that are separated by a gap or spacer. When the rings are brought into contact, current can flow between them and produce a rotational motion. Slip rings are used in various applications where high efficiency and low power consumption are essential, such as communication systems, motor control systems, and energy harvesting devices.
The through-bore design allows for rotation of the assembly while transmitting power or data. They are often used in applications where there is a need to rotate an object while keeping a power or data connection open, such as on a wind turbine or radar antenna.
The Oubaibo's through-bore slip ring is a newly designed product that has many advantages over other products on the market. It is small and lightweight, making it easy to install and use. The through-bore design also allows for a high degree of flexibility, making it ideal for use in difficult or tight spaces. Additionally, the Oubaibo through-bore slip ring is very efficient, providing a high degree of power transfer with minimal loss.
