Drone killer

Seems rather odd to me that Autel Robotics is selling a drone jamming device.

Because Autel is not manufacturing or selling that.

Wanna bet? See attached, from the Autel web site.

Because that's not the Autel website. The Autel website is autelrobotics.com.

Regardless of who's selling the ---- thing, if it jams a drone it will probably jam or interfere with anything, including crewed aircraft. It seems like the FAA would try to ban the **** thing.

It isn't even for sale in the USA. Jamming equipment like that is already tightly regulated by the FCC in the USA. The FFC regulates RF transmissions, not the FAA.

Because once again, that is not the Autel Robotics company's website. That is a retail company that sells drone things, including Autel Robotics products, among other things. That drone jamming device is not made by or sold by Autel Robotics. It is made my Skyfend, the very first word of the advertisement for it. Skyfend is totally unrelated Chinese company.

Again, The Autel website is autelrobotics.com.

You're 100% right and it's confusing as heck. I suspect there's a relationship between Autel Pilot, Autel Robotics, and Autel vehicle scanners (the mother company of Autel Robotics) but I'm not privy to that info. We do know companies in China are interconnected through the CCP. How much is unknown as well.

Having said all that, it is weird that a drone seller would also be selling a drone jamming device, even as a 3rd party seller. DJI used to sell a device to jam and locate their own drones. I understand they stopped.
