![]() General Services Administration announced it would be buying drones for government purposes from only the Blue UAS list from then on. Despite these criticisms, in early 2021, the U.S. and European drone makers, known as the Blue UAS (unmanned aerial systems) list, in August 2020, many government drone users complained that the approved aircraft cost vastly more than Chinese-made options, had fewer features, and still contained Chinese-made component parts. Although the Department of Defense released a short roster of approved U.S. (The program is flying again today, but operates at a much smaller scale). Department of the Interior decided to ground the agency’s entire hundreds-strong, DJI-heavy drone fleet in 2019, shutting down a once-promising program engaged in everything from fire-spotting to scientific research. ![]() government suspicions toward DJI grew, bolstered by the Trump administration’s strong anti-China stance, leadership at the U.S. companies from exporting their products for DJI use.Īs U.S. The move kept DJI drones legally on sale but banned U.S. Commerce Department because of its technologies’ use in China’s Uyghur detention camps. The same year, DJI was officially blacklisted by the U.S. special operators in Syria-had turned to DJI drones instead. In 2017, members of the Department of Defense were banned from using DJI products after it came out that some service members frustrated by expensive and crash-happy official military products-including, allegedly, U.S. government has taken an ever more hardline stance toward DJI, citing fears about cybersecurity, illicit Chinese spying, and the company’s level of enmeshment with the Chinese state itself. hostility toward DJI drones, like other Chinese technology, has been in the works for a long time. “Everything is going to take longer and cost more.” “I’m not looking forward to using non-DJI quadcopters in the next event,” Merrick said. They can’t afford to purchase anything legal.”Īnd he’s worried about the future as yet another hurricane season rolls into Florida. “We’re already seeing smaller state agencies, and fiscally constrained counties, walking away from altogether. “We’re hamstringing public safety to appease some amorphous concerns about Chinese spying,” Merrick said. Ron DeSantis, and the state-approved drones he’s managed to purchase simply aren’t as good. ![]() Merrick’s drone-mapping team constantly deploys to assist disaster responders, from documenting the extent of Hurricane Irma’s destruction to creating 3D maps of the effects of the collapse of the Surfside condominium building.īut today, Merrick’s Chinese drone-heavy fleet is mostly grounded, thanks to recent action by the administration of Florida Gov. Take it from Dave Merrick, the director of the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Program and the Center for Disaster Risk Policy at Florida State University, who has spent years training hundreds of students to use drones to make maps during disasters. And American drone pilots in fields ranging from search and rescue to agriculture to scientific research, painfully aware that they lack good or affordable alternatives to Chinese products, are getting nervous. federal and state lawmakers, warning of Chinese interference, are introducing legislation cracking down on the DJI aircraft used by an overwhelming majority of U.S. And it’s not just DJI: China has become the global hub of the consumer drone industry, home to both DJI’s most successful competitors and the factories that make most of the electronic parts that around the world, from the United States to Ukraine, depend on. Fast forward to today, and DJI has become the overwhelming market leader in a civilian drone industry that largely exists thanks to its work, supplying more than 70 percent of the planet’s drone users with vast quantities of high-quality, dirt-cheap, and elegantly designed little flying robots. Whenever you hear the tell-tale whining buzz of a drone, anywhere in the world, you’re probably hearing a sound made in China.īack in 2006, Chinese technology company DJI created the very first cheap, off-the shelf drones that even poorly coordinated amateurs could use to shoot stunning video and create high-quality maps.

Many notice their enlarged bags first thing in the morning and the condition should improve as the day goes on and resolve over time.

![]() They are designed for drilling relatively small holes, they sometimes tend to clog quickly especially when the wood is 'green' so when drilling deep holes (especially in hardwood) the bits should be withdrawn regularly to remove the waste. Twist drills are usually available in sizes 0.8-12 mm plus. The coating is only really effective when metal is being drilled, it has little effect when working with other materials. This coating increases the hardness of the bit and adds a self-lubricating property. Twist bits are also available coated with Titanium nitride (TiN), these are easily identified by the gold like colour. 'carbon steel', these bits are specially ground for drilling wood and should not be used for drilling metals, they tend to be more brittle, less flexible than HSS bits.'high speed steel' (HSS), these are suitable for drilling most types of material, when drilling metal the HSS stands up to the high temperatures.They can be used on timber, metal, plastics and similar materials. The front edges cut the material and the spirals along the length remove the debris from the hole and tend to keep the bit straight. Usuallyreferred to as twist drills, twist bits are probably the most common drilling tools used by the handyman with either a hand or electric drill. A sharp bit will also give a cleaner hole. A sharp bit cuts better with less effort whether used in a power or hand drill. Learning how to sharpen drill bits is cost effective, it better to keep a bit sharp by occasional sharpening rather than waiting until it becomes really blunt. Good quality drill bits can be expensive, so take care of them, keep them in a case or box if possible, rather than allowing them to roll around loose in a toolbox where the cutting edges may be damaged. But for more sophisticated jobs/material, others bits will be required - perhaps larger, or designed for a specific material/purpose. Many jobs around the house require a hole of some kind to be drilled - whether it is putting up a shelf, building a cabinet or hanging a light fitting.įor basic requirements, a set of high-speed steel twist drills and some masonry bits will probably be sufficient for the average handyman. To drill a satisfactory hole in any material, the correct type of drill bit must be used it must be used correctly and be sharpened as appropriate.

Optus is both majority-owned and controlled by the Singaporean Government. It is 100%-owned by Singtel, which is 52%-owned by Singaporean Government investment arm Temasek.

The AEC disclosure, signed by Optus Vice President Regulatory and Public Affairs Andrew Sheridan, was lodged in November and made public last month. On 19 May, two days earlier, Optus “donated” a further $3,300 to the National Party, disclosures show. The two biggest donations – $30,000 to the Liberal Party and $27,500 to the ALP – were made on the same day: 22 April last year.
