美国内政部今天表示，将继续保持其整个无人机机队停飞，除非用于消防等紧急情况，因为内政部正在审查无人机是否对****构成威胁。据《华尔街日报》10月报道，内政部10月份首次将其800多架无人机停飞，原因是担心中国的间谍活动和网络攻击可能会得到这些无人机的帮助。这些无人机是中国**的，或使用中国**的部件。这一切意味着，经过数月的审查，内政部仍然担心无人机可能成为潜在威胁。

内政部在今天的声明中表示，无人驾驶飞机对其消防或搜救任务非常重要，但“我们必须确保用于这些行动的技术不会损害我们的****利益。”

提供内政部使用的一些无人机技术的中国无人机巨头DJI就今天的决定发表了以下声明：

DJI is extremely disappointed by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) order which inappropriately treats a technology’s country of origin as a litmus test for its performance, security and reliability. This action will ground the entire DOI drone program, which relies on drones made with globally sourced components to create the federal government’s largest and most innovative civilian drone fleet. This decision makes clear that the U.S. government’s concerns about DJI drones, which make up a **all portion of the DOI fleet, have little to do with security and are instead part of a politically-motivated agenda to reduce market competition and support domestically produced drone technology, regardless of its merits.

DJI makes some of the industry’s most safe, secure, and trusted drone platforms for commercial operators. The security of our products designed specifically for the DOI and other U.S. government agencies have been independently tested and validated by U.S. cybersecurity c***ultants, U.S. federal agencies including the Department of Interior and the Department of Homeland Security, which proves today’s decision has nothing to do with security.

We are opposed to the politically-motivated country of origin restricti*** masquerading as cybersecurity concerns and call for policymakers and industry stakeholders to create clear standards that will give commercial and government drone operators the assurance they need to confidently evaluate drone technology on the merits of performance, security and reliability, no matter where it is made.

目前尚不清楚这项禁令是否或何时会解除。根据内政部长David Bernhardt今天签署的命令（PDF），该命令将继续有效，“直到其条款转化为部门手册，或直到其被修订、取代或撤销，以先发生者为准”。
