来源：参考消息
“封杀”中国无人机一年之后，美国军方终于“反悔”了——
近日，美国空军公布的一则采购公告显示，美国空军将采购35架中国大疆公司生产的商用无人机。
要知道就在去年8月，这家总部位于深圳、多年来以无人机研发和生产而重塑人们生产和生活方式的中国公司，还曾登上美国军方的“黑名单”。

于是，问题来了：从被封杀，到再获订单，这并不算漫长的一年里，中国民营企业大疆公司和美国军方都各自经历了什么？
为什么还是大疆？因为美军“别无选择”
“不要Tiny Whoop，不要3DR，不要Ebee，只要DJI（大疆）”。
9月24日，美国一家无人机专门网站DroneGirl对美国空军最近这张采购文件如此概括道。
据报道，美国空军于8月17日在美国联邦政府机构公开购买项目的网站上发布公告，表示将采购35架大疆无人机，型号为Mavic Pro Platinum。

公告共分为六个部分，详细讲解了本次采购所包含的项目和理由。
为什么一定要选大疆？美军表示，“任务需要是我们的首要考虑因素”。
采购文件显示，其他品牌的无人机平台无法满足美国空军执行多种任务时所需要的条件，如气候适应性、相机分辨率和续航时间等。
除此之外，采购、使用和维护这批无人机的性价比也是美国空军的重要考虑因素。
文件还透露，大疆无人机目前已经有空军特种作战单位在使用，8个中队共装备了15架，这些无人机平台经受住了考验。

综上所述，美国空军得出结论：“除了大疆，我们别无选择。”
“对于美军来说，这或许是一个无奈的选择，因为美国国防部对于中国企业生产的设备戒心还是比较大的，不过由于大疆的绝对优势，美军不得不做出这样的选择。但是不能排除美军未来再对大疆无人机设置‘门槛儿’，甚至再‘拉黑’的可能性。”军事学者宋忠平对小锐分析道。
美军的“封杀”，让其他美国政府机构坐不住了：我们觉得大疆没毛病
事实上，就在去年，大疆无人机还曾遭到美军“封杀”。
据美国“防务一号”网站去年8月报道，美国陆军于8月2日发布一份备忘录说，由于大疆无人机具有“网络安全漏洞”，已要求在全陆军范围内禁止使用，备忘录还要求美国陆军停止使用并卸载一切大疆相关产品。

备忘录显示，美国陆军研究实验室和海军于当年5月分别发布了关于大疆系列产品使用风险的报告，这成为美军“封杀”大疆的依据。
在备忘录中，美军并未具体解释所谓的“网络安全漏洞”为何物。
报道说，备忘录发出后，引起了一些士兵的疑惑，“我实在不知道一个不带存储设备的相机稳定器能如何泄露信息。”一位美国陆军官员也表示，该决定可能会让正在使用大疆设备的单位头疼不已。

他们“头疼”是有原因的，据英国BBC报道，大疆无人机是美国陆军使用数量最多的民用级别无人机，这些无人机被用于美国陆军工程兵团的行动或演习中，包括洪水救援或者应联邦紧急情况管理局要求实施的行动。
而在收到“封杀令”后，大疆方面表示，美军在停用大疆无人机前，并未跟大疆沟通过。
“我们对美军的决定感到惊讶和失望。”大疆公司在当时发布的一则声明中说道。
大疆还表示，不论美军还是任何国家的军事部门获取大疆的终端产品，都是通过公开市场渠道，大疆与任何国家的军事机构都没有合作。
面对一家没有任何军事背景但却被美军以含糊不清的理由“封杀”的中国企业，许多美国机构也纷纷站出来声援。
据美国科技网站“临界点”报道，美国国家海洋和大气管理局表示，“没有任何证据表明有任何软件试图从大疆无人机上传输任何数据。”
美国科技网站“临界点”报道截图
事实上，由于需要大量使用无人机收集水文和气象数据，美国国家海洋和大气管理局也是大疆无人机的“大客户”，该机构此前还专门就大疆无人机的安全性做过测试，结果证明其是可靠的。
今年4月，美国的第三方公司对大疆的安全调查报告也明确表示，大疆公司能够保护数据安全。
美国本土企业曾试图取代大疆，但失败了……
有意思的是，在大疆被“封杀”的这一年里，美国本土无人机企业并非没有努力过：
在全球市场都保有绝对优势的中国企业的“退出”，无疑意味着美国无人机行业的绝佳机会。
美国CNN财经网9月10日发布的一篇报道进一步印证了这个猜想：去年美军刚对大疆发出禁令后，就有人认为，美军只是在打着“安全”的幌子保护本国产业。
美国CNN网站报道截图
报道称，中国企业是无人机领域的“领头羊”，但美国无人机制造商正在试图改变这一局面。大疆无人机遭禁时，恰逢美国各机构扩大无人机使用之际，“这为美国制造的无人机提供了机会”。
“我们基本上把3DR公司的无人机库存都买下来了。”一位美国内政部官员说。
但后来的结果我们都看到了：正如美国空军采购公文所说，3DR等美国企业制造的无人机无法满足军方要求，美军选来选去还是只能选择大疆。
DroneGirl网站援引的无人机市场调查公司Skylogic Research本月发布的行业报告则提供了更为有说服力的数据：去年大疆在美国市场的占有率是72%，而被美军“封杀”一年后，这一数字不降反升，达到约74%。
调查公司发布的无人机市场份额统计图
“美国空军采购大疆无人机的消息，显示中国制造商继续在该行业保持主导地位。”报道这样总结说——而在中美贸易摩擦愈演愈烈的当下，这句话读来尤为意味深长。
“中国确实有很多产品值得美军采购，而且价格要大大优于从本国采购，”宋忠平说，“中国产的民用无人机本身也不会对美国国家安全构成威胁，美军这次‘开绿灯’也显示出，中美在很多问题上其实是可以互补的。”
在宋忠平看来，一味对中国产品进行“封杀”，只能提高美军的采购成本，对美国的军费不利。另一方面，如果好好利用民用无人机，在执行一些简单任务时还能带来极大的好处。
“中美之间在很多问题上都可以通过合作实现互利共赢，‘封杀’是不可取的。”宋忠平说。
美国科技网站Gizmodo早前报道称，在被美国军方“拉黑”近一年后，全球最大的消费级无人机制造商大疆创新公布了第三方公司对其安全调查和分析的总结性分析报告。来自第三方的调查明确表明，大疆公司能够保护个人数据。

The US military banned China's Dajiang drone for one year but regretted: we have no choice
September 29, 2018 11:03 Reference message

One year after "blocking" Chinese drones, the US military finally "repented" -
Recently, a US procurement announcement announced that the US Air Force will purchase 35 commercial drones produced by China's Dajiang Company.
It should be noted that in August last year, the Chinese company, which is based in Shenzhen and has rebuilt and produced people's production and lifestyles with the development and production of drones, has also been on the “blacklist” of the US military.
Dajiang Company Headquarters Building
So, the question came: from being banned to re-ordering, this is not a long year. What have the Chinese private enterprises DJI and the US military experienced?
Why is Dajiang? Because the US military "has no choice"
"Don't Tiny Whoop, don't 3DR, don't Ebee, just DJI (Dajiang)."
On September 24th, DroneGirl, a US-based drone special website, summed up the US Air Force's recent procurement document.
According to reports, the US Air Force issued an announcement on August 17th on the website of the US federal government agency publicly purchased project, saying that it will purchase 35 DJI UAVs, model Mavic Pro Platinum.
Dajiang Mavic Pro Platinum drone
The announcement is divided into six parts, detailing the projects and reasons included in this purchase.
Why do you have to choose Dajiang? The US military said that "mission needs are our primary consideration."
Procurement documents show that other brands of drone platforms cannot meet the conditions required by the US Air Force to perform multiple tasks, such as climate adaptability, camera resolution, and battery life.
In addition, the cost-effectiveness of purchasing, using and maintaining these drones is an important consideration for the US Air Force.
The document also revealed that the UAV UAV is currently in use by the Air Force Special Operations Unit, and the eight squadrons are equipped with a total of 15 aircraft. These UAV platforms have withstood the test.

In summary, the US Air Force concluded: "With the exception of Dajiang, we have no choice."
"For the US military, this may be a helpless choice, because the US Department of Defense is still relatively wary of the equipment produced by Chinese companies. However, due to the absolute superiority of Xinjiang, the US military has to make such a choice. But it cannot be ruled out. In the future, the US military will set up a 'door shackle' for the UAV drones, and even the possibility of 'blackening'." Military scholar Song Zhongping analyzed Xiao Rui.
The "blocking" of the US military has made other US government agencies unable to sit still: we feel that there is nothing wrong with Xinjiang.
In fact, just last year, the UAV drone was also "blocked" by the US military.
According to the US "Defense No. 1" website reported in August last year, the US Army issued a memorandum on August 2, saying that due to the "network security vulnerability" of the UAV drone, it has been banned from use within the entire army. The US Army is also required to stop using and uninstall all relevant products in DJI.
Screenshot of part of the memo released by the US Army in August 2017
The memorandum shows that the US Army Research Laboratory and the Navy released reports on the use risks of the Dajiang series products in May of that year, which became the basis for the US military to "block" Dajiang.
In the memorandum, the US military did not specifically explain what the so-called "cybersecurity vulnerability" was.
The report said that after the memo was issued, it caused some soldiers' doubts. "I really don't know how a camera stabilizer without storage devices can leak information." A US Army official also said that the decision might make it big. The unit of Xinjiang equipment has a headache.
US military website "Defense No. 1" report screenshot
They have a "headache" for a reason. According to the British BBC, the UAV is the most used civilian-grade drone used by the US Army. These drones are used in the operations or exercises of the US Army Corps of Engineers, including Flood rescue or action required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
After receiving the "blocking order", Dajiang said that the US military did not pass the Dajianggou before the Dajiang UAV was deactivated.
"We are surprised and disappointed with the US military's decision." Dajiang said in a statement issued at the time.
Dajiang also stated that whether the US military or the military department of any country acquires the terminal products of Dajiang, it is through open market channels, and there is no cooperation between Dajiang and any military institution of any country.
In the face of a Chinese company that does not have any military background but has been "blocked" by the US military on ambiguous reasons, many American institutions have also stood up for solidarity.
According to the US Science and Technology website "tipping point" report, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said, "There is no evidence that any software is trying to transmit any data from the DJI UAV."
US technology website "tipping point" report screenshot
In fact, due to the need to use a large number of drones to collect hydrological and meteorological data, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is also a “big customer” of the UAV drone, which previously specialized in the safety of DJI drones. After testing, the results proved to be reliable.
In April of this year, the third-party company in the United States also clearly stated that the Dangang company’s security investigation report can protect data security.
Native American companies have tried to replace Dajiang, but they have failed...
Interestingly, in the year when Dajiang was "blocked", the US domestic drone companies did not work hard:
The “exit” of Chinese companies that have absolute advantages in the global market undoubtedly means an excellent opportunity for the US drone industry.
A report released by CNN Financial Network on September 10 further confirmed this conjecture: After the US military just issued a ban on Dajiang last year, some people believe that the US military is only protecting its own industry with the guise of "security."
US CNN website report screenshot
According to reports, Chinese companies are the "leaders" in the field of drones, but US drone manufacturers are trying to change this situation. When the UAV drone was banned, it coincided with the expansion of drones by US agencies. "This provides an opportunity for U.S.-built drones."
"We basically bought the 3DR company's drone inventory," said a US Department of the Interior official.
But the results we have seen later: As stated in the US Air Force procurement document, drones made by American companies such as 3DR cannot meet the military requirements, and the US military can only choose to choose Xinjiang.
The industry report released this month by DronicGirl's drone market research firm Skylogic Research provides more convincing data: Last year, Dajiang's market share in the US market was 72%, and it was "blocked" by the US military for one year. After that, this figure did not fall and rose, reaching about 74%.
Survey company released the market share chart of drones
"The news of the US Air Force's procurement of UAVs in DJI shows that Chinese manufacturers continue to maintain a dominant position in the industry." The report concludes that this is especially true when Sino-US trade frictions are getting worse.
“China does have a lot of products worthy of US military procurement, and the price is much better than purchasing from the country,” Song Zhongping said. “The Chinese-made civilian drones themselves will not pose a threat to US national security. The US military’s 'green light’ this time. It also shows that China and the United States can actually complement each other on many issues."
In Song Zhongping's view, blindly "blocking" Chinese products can only increase the procurement cost of the US military and is unfavorable to US military spending. On the other hand, if you make good use of civilian drones, you can also bring great benefits when performing some simple tasks.
"China and the United States can achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation through cooperation on many issues. It is not advisable to 'block up'." Song Zhongping said.
Gizmodo, the US technology website, reported earlier that after nearly a year of being "blacked out" by the US military, DJI Innovation, the world's largest consumer-grade UAV manufacturer, announced the summary of its security investigations and analysis by third-party companies. analysis report. A survey from a third party clearly shows that Dajiang companies can protect personal data.
