buys Chinese drones, even as US expresses data concerns"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As the United States panics about Chinas dominance in the global drone industry, Europe has barely blinked.<\/p>\n<p>In an era of paranoia over data security in which military officers and public officials warn of the reams of sensitive data collected by drones, European governments and militaries are increasingly looking to China, and its premier drone manufacturer DJI, for their needs.<\/p>\n<p>The company insists it has access to \u201cessentially none\u201d of the data its drones produce, and has pushed back hard against allegations of parallels with Huawei, the telecommunications company the U.S. government suspects of spying on behalf of China.<\/p>\n<p>But the value of data being generated \u2014 detailed imagery of critical infrastructure, military hardware, frontiers or nuclear sites, for example \u2014 coupled with a potential lack of protection from data regulations could make drones a prime target for cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p>As drone sales skyrocket \u2014 the industry <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/growth\/sectors\/aeronautics\/rpas_en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is expected to<\/a> add \u20ac10 billion annually to the EU economy\u2014 governments stretching from France to Denmark are using commercial off-the-shelf drones made in China for surveillance and inspection purposes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cThere is very little thinking along the lines of, Is this something we should be concerned about?\u201d \u2014 Ulrike Franke\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While U.S. government agencies remain extremely wary in their use of DJI drones, that debate is not being mirrored in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is very little thinking along the lines of, Is this something we should be concerned about?\u201d said Ulrike Franke, a policy fellow at the European Council of Foreign relations, who focuses on defense policy and technology. \u201cNo one is actually concerned,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h3>Washingtons test<\/h3>\n<p>With drones now common use among government departments and militaries to help with search-and-rescue missions, border monitoring or marine patrols, the U.S. has done its utmost to avoid becoming reliant on Chinese technology.<\/p>\n<p>Washingtons Department of the Interior \u2014 the agency responsible for managing government lands and natural resources \u2014 <a

noopener\" target=\"_blank\">until July refused<\/a> to employ DJI drones because they \u201cdid not meet UAS [unmanned aerial systems] data management assurance standards.\u201d But the problem became a lack of alternatives: 3D Robotics, the U.S. company contracted instead, stopped making drones in 2016 as it got squeezed out by the competition, and like-for-like replacements are 10 times more expensive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GettyImages-1164296268-714x476.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A man using a drone to monitor an

drones may now be used but a third party must be present when the software is updated, and the agency will \u201climit the use of approved aircraft to non-sensitive missions that collect publicly releasable data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DJIs Director of Strategic Partnerships Jan Gasparic said the company took six to eight months to work with the U.S. government to ensure it meets its requirements, and is willing to work with the U.S. military as well. \u201cWere always engaging different stakeholders to develop standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Both the U.S. military and the Department of Homeland Security have so far maintained the ban, only allowing individual waivers on a \u201ccase by case\u201d basis, Pentagon spokesman Mike Andrews told POLITICO in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Some experts warn that DJIs global monopoly \u2014 it has 74 percent of the worlds market, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/uavcoach.com\/skylogic-2018-drone-industry-benchmark\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2018 estimates<\/a> \u2014 is a real danger.

The German navy also uses drones, and a military spokesperson said he was \u201cnot aware of any security issues\u201d that have been raised by that drone use.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the Dutch ministry of defense said in an email that concerns surrounding Chinese-built drones are \u201cwidely known in the Dutch military. For this reason we do not use the mentioned drones in a reconnaissance role.\u201d The Netherlands uses the U.S.-built Raven drone instead, and uses Chinese-made drones \u201cfor different communications sections in order to make footage of exercises and deployments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Danish military confirmed: \u201cA number of DJI drones have been bought for unclassified and non-operational use, such as news-production, inspection of drain-pipes and advertisement in connection to property sales,\u201d adding: \u201cFor classified military purposes other systems are acquired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But any decision not to buy Chinese has consequences. The Raven, built by company AeroVironment specifically for militaries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.af.mil\/About-Us\/Fact-Sheets\/Display\/Article\/104533\/rq-11b-raven\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">costs $260,000<\/a>. DJIs Mavic Pro 2, which anyone can buy from Amazon, costs less than $2,000.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/GettyImages-123057850-714x465.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Raven surveillance drone is deployed in Afghanistan | John Moore\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The French military used the earlier model of the Mavic Pro in operations in the Sahel, and said the drone \u201ccan be launched instantaneously,\u201d noting it has the ability to parse through a wooded area before the military sends people in. The drone \u201cexemplifies the new combat methods brought by micro-drone technology and demonstrates to what extent drones can facilitate operations,\u201d according to the French army magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.calameo.com\/read\/005141509700439774890\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fantassins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. interior department, U.S.-made alternatives to DJIs drones \u201cwere up to 10 times less capable for the same price, or up to 10 times more costly than similarly capable DJI aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the British military said it does not employ Chinese-built drones, the countrys police forces do \u2014 frequently. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.dji.com\/news\/detail\/running-a-uk-police-drone-program\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DJI blogpost<\/a>, a police official for Devon and Cornwall said they mostly use the drones for missing people searches, firearms operations, road traffic collisions, crime scenes and major events (such as football matches or large music festivals) and fire safety.<\/p>\n<p>A police spokesperson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/2019\/05\/23\/police-forces-across-uk-use-chinese-made-drones-amid-us-government\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">British media<\/a> in May: \u201cThere is a possibility that data is being captured without our knowledge, but within our unit, DJI drones are only used within areas of policing that are considered non-sensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vulnerabilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Its difficult to prove how vulnerable the data produced by drones actually is, and governments are reticent to detail how exposed they are to danger. The 53-page report from the U.S. interior department did not make public test results from the Pentagon, and it is unclear on what evidence the U.S. military made its decision not to buy Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>In May, a 13-year old hacker known as Cyber Ninja made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xqI8O_lte0U\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">live demonstration<\/a> at a conference in South Africa out of hacking into and controlling a drone. Last year, sensitive data from U.S. military drones <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/router-hacking-drone-reaper-military-secrets\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was stolen and sold online<\/a>. DJI itself was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/dji-fixes-vulnerability-that-let-potential-hackers-spy-on-drones\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">exposed<\/a> to a security flaw that allowed potential hackers to log into DJI consumer accounts without needing a password. The company said it fixed the flaw.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nUnder GDPR, companies are allowed to move data outside of the EU under so-called standard contractual clauses.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Under Europes General Data Protection Regulation, the EU has rules detailing companies responsibility to protect private data, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Study-on-privacy-data-protection-and-ethical-risks-in-civil-RPAS-operations-1.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2o14 EU study<\/a> acknowledged information from drones might still be difficult to secure. Drone technology \u201cis not a reliable method of ensuring confidentiality of the data as data security and integrity can be endangered by modes of transmission such as satellites, Wi-Fi, and other broadcast technologies,\u201d it said. As drones proliferate, the risks of misuse increases.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the protections, a spokesperson for the European Commission said: \u201cIts up to member states to decide on what drones to buy and to ensure that the data they gather with these drones is secure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/europe-buys-chinese-drones-even-as-us-expresses-data-concerns\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the United States panics about Chinas dominance in the global drone industry, Europe has barely b..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":131041,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
