当地时间1月7日，美国联邦通讯委员会（FCC）宣布豁免部分新型外国制无人机及关键零组件的进口限制，给去年12月刚出台的全面进口禁令踩了脚"刹 车"。 按照国防部的建议，这次豁免期直接延长到2026年12月31日，涵盖了Parrot、Teledyne FLIR等多家海外厂商，以及英伟达、索尼等企业的关键零部件。这 种看似矛盾的政策转向，并不是美国放弃了对中国无人机技术的打压，而是在产业现实和政治诉求之间的无奈折中，全球无人机市场中美竞争的真实局面 可见一斑。 回头看这波政策的来龙去脉，美国的打压逻辑一直绕着"国家安全"打转，但明眼人都能看出贸易保护的底色。 2025年12月，FCC以"存在不可接受的安全风险"为借口，把所有外国制无人机及关键零组件都拉进了"受管制清单"， 大疆、道通智能 等中国企业直接被 划在门外，没法拿到在美国销售新型号产品的FCC许可。 FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔还特意渲染"犯罪分子、恐怖分子和敌对外国势力会把无人机技术当武器用"的风险，想给禁令找个说得过去的理由。但这一指控从 头到尾都没拿出实质证据，大疆之前也多次说明，自家产品能断网操作、数据本地存储，安全性早就过了全球多家权威机构的验证，美 ...
