A federal judge has completed the drone manufacturer DJI to scrub his name from the list of militarily bound companies through the Pentagon.
The US district judge Paul Friedman issued his judgment on Friday with the Ministry of Defense. The agency had assembled what Friedman described as “essential evidence”, which demonstrated DJI's contribution to the Chinese industrial infrastructure in defense in defense.
The judge has worked more in the reality of the Battlefield than in corporate policy. Extensive combat missions were recorded in the Russia Ukraine War with changed DJI drones. Friedman's argument has summed up directly: Corporate restrictions on military applications mean nothing if the hardware in warfare and civilian hands proves itself to be effective.
“It is irrelevant whether Dji's politics prohibits military use or not. This does not change the fact that DJI's technology has both a significant theoretical and actual military application,” wrote Friedman.
However, the verdict was not a comprehensive victory for the decision -making of Pentagon. Friedman dismissed certain justifications that the DOD had presented on the list for the DJI.
DJI joined the Pentagon's Chinese military company in 2022, but the exam in Washington used to start. The trade department and the finance department had already marked the drone manufacturer on their own waking lists.
When DJI set his legal challenge last year, the company used the military name hard. DJI insisted that it works independently of Chinese armed forces and emphasized that even the DOD recognizes the products for consumers and trading markets as military buyers.
In the lawsuit, concrete damage was emphasized by the black list. DJI reported sustainable financial losses and reputation damage, with customers going away from shops.
After the decision in conversation with Reuters, DJI signaled the opportunity to criticize the logic of the court next. The company argued that Friedman had built his conclusion about the argument that “for many companies that have never been listed”.
