FCC Proposes Retroactive Ban on LiDAR Drones, Threatening DJI's Air 3S and Mini 5 Pro - finance.biggo.com

The DJI “ban” is no longer a what-if. The FCC added DJI to its Covered List around Dec 23, 2025. Here’s what actually changed, what didn’t, and where the fight stands in 2026.

DJI's Air 3S and Mini 5 Pro could vanish from US shelves. FCC proposes retroactively banning LiDAR drones, reclassifying safety sensors as 'military-grade'—yanking previously approved models. 180 days after final rule, sales stop, parts and updates may dry up. Comment deadline: Sept 2.
