Pentagon drones ‘8 to 14 times’ costlier than banned Chinese craft

From what we could find, the cheapest Blue sUAS drone with a controller starts from $7,800, while more sophisticated models can cost as high as $21,000. In contrast, DJI’s Government Edition products have an average price of $2,100. But even if cost were not an issue, it’s the capabilities of these drones that worry the DoI the most. According to the memo:

Quote:By only having the ‘Blue UAS’ approved [drones], it reduces DoI sensor capabilities by 95%… The aircraft are designed for a very specific DoD [Department of Defense] mission set and will only meet around 20% of DoI mission requirements.

The US government's move to ban China-made drones is hurting itself, as making domestic alternatives has only turned out to be more expensive and less functional than their Chinese counterparts, according to media reports.

Observers said that the story in the drone industry is just one of the vivid examples of how the US' attempt to undermine bilateral trade ties and intertwined manufacturing chains hamper the US' own technological development and waste taxpayers' money.

The US attempt to build alternatives to Chinese drones could go nowhere because the supply chain cannot bypass Chinese firms, an industry analyst warned.

Actually wasting taxpayers' money is not a problem. In fact, the US govt is taking the right steps if they wish to continue their technology dominance.
