Chinese drone maker DJI Technologies announced on Tuesday that high-security drone technology on two new models received US Interior Department approval, according to a statement from DJI's official website. 

A 15-month test of their flight, payload, and data management assurance performance was given to the DJI Matrice 600 Pro and Mavic Pro drones equipped with Government Edition firmware and software.

“The Department of Interior’s report validates DJI’s effort to build software and hardware solutions that meet the evolving data security needs of its customers,” said Mario Rebello, DJI’s vice-president and regional manager for North America, in the statement.  

“We look forward to continuing to support the Department of Interior and other federal agencies with DJI’s industry-leading drone technology,” Mario Rebello added.
