The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is seeking public input by March 4 on a proposed rule aimed at addressing security risks associated with China and Russia in the information and communication technology and services (ICTS) sector, which are integral to the supply chain for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones. The US government is concerned about the potential risks of relying on Chinese and Russian ICTS due to their sensitive nature and the potential for them to be used as a tool in modern warfare, where they can inflict significant damage despite being relatively inexpensive.

The department has taken steps in recent months to crack down on Chinese drones, including a ban on new drone models from DJI and Autel Robotics, which account for the majority of commercial drone sales in the US. In September, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said restrictions similar to those that would effectively ban Chinese vehicles from the United States could be imposed, focusing on drones with Chinese and Russian equipment, chips, and software. The administration of President-elect Donald Trump will make a decision on new rules restricting or banning Chinese drones by January 20.
