>      The editor of SUAS News has obtained what appears to be an
>    internal memo from the US Army asking all units to discontinue
>    the use of DJI drones due to "an increased awareness of cyber
>    vulnerabilities with DJI products." The memo notes that the
>    Army had issued over 300 separate releases authorizing the use
>    of DJI products for Army missions, meaning a lot of hardware
>    may have been in active use prior to the memo, which is dated
>    August 2nd, 2017.
