Listen Later

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 3 stories for you, DJI Air 3S Leaks, Chairs of Homeland Security calls for declassification of national security risks for Chinese drones, and a man arrested for shooting at a drone. 

First up, DJI Air 3S Leaks!

More leaked images show the possible Air 3S or Air 4 with the same exact body style as the Air 3.
The leaked image also appears to retain the dual camera setup and the obstacle avoidance. 
It’s unclear what upgrades may be added to the new drone, but speculations include a larger sensor size, longer flight time, and potentially more smart features. 
We’ll have to wait for more leaks or an announcement from DJI!

Next up, the chairs of Homeland Security and Energy and Commerce Committees have called on the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy to declassify security risks posed by Chinese drones. 
Mark Green and Cathy Rodgers, House Representatives, requested the declassification of security threats found by the government.
Their letter includes the publication of found issues to law enforcement agencies, the federal government, and the American public for a better understanding of possible security threats found in the drones.
The two Committee Chairs requested a briefing no later than July 2nd, 2024. 
We’ll keep you updated as this unfolds.

Finally, a man was arrested this week in New York after shooting down his neighbor’s drone. 
Joseph Dishaw was arrested for menacing and criminal possession of a weapon after state troopers responded to a report of a drone being shot down. 
Dishaw allegedly became angry when his neighbor flew his drone over his property and shot down the drone using a shotgun. 
It’s unclear if there will be any federal charges for shooting at the aircraft.
We’ll keep you updated if we see more.
