美国联邦通信委员会(FCC)发布提议，建议追溯禁止进口和销售配备激光雷达(LiDAR)传感器的外国无人机[1]。该提议已于2026年8月3日在《联邦登记册》公布(DA 26-758)[1]，基于FCC在2025年12月22日发起的禁令，当时所有外国无人机被添加到《覆盖名单》中[1]。
被禁范围涵盖多类无人机产品，包括DJI Air 3S和Mini 5 Pro等热门消费级型号[1]。除LiDAR传感器外，禁令还涉及配备热成像传感器、能进行农业喷洒、重量55磅或以上、包含对接站、集成国防物品或具备协同作业能力(包括无人机灯光秀)的外国无人机[1]。FCC将这些技术归类为"军用级"[1]。公众可于2026年9月2日前提交评论[1]，若该提议被采纳，禁令将在发布后约180天生效[1]。
DJI公司表示反对，声称LiDAR是安全功能而非武器，认为其"军用级"标签属于分类错误[1]。
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has moved to prohibit the importation and sale of foreign-made drones equipped with LiDAR sensors, classifying the technology as "military-grade."[1] The proposal, published in the Federal Register on August 3, 2026 under designation DA 26-758, builds on an earlier FCC order issued on December 22, 2025, that added all foreign drones to the agency's covered list.[1] Popular consumer models including the DJI Air 3S and Mini 5 Pro would be affected by the retroactive ban.[1]
The FCC's "military-grade" classification encompasses a broad range of unmanned aircraft beyond those with LiDAR capabilities, including drones equipped with thermal imaging sensors, those capable of agricultural spraying, models weighing 55 pounds or more, drones with docking stations, systems with integrated defense articles, and coordinated operation features such as drone light shows.[1] The public comment period for the proposal extends until September 2, 2026, and if adopted, the ban would take effect approximately 180 days after publication.[1]
DJI has contested the classification, arguing that LiDAR serves as a safety feature rather than a weapon and disputing the "military-grade" designation as a mischaracterization.[1] The company has previously challenged the FCC's initial restrictions through legal action.[1]
