WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - China-based DJI could be

banned from launching new drones in the United States market

under an annual military bill set to be voted on later this week

by the U.S. House.

The 1,800-page bill says a national security agency must

determine within one year if drones from DJI or equipment from

Autel Robotics pose unacceptable national security

risks.

DJI said if no agency completes the study, it would be

automatically added to the Federal Communications Commission's

"Covered List." DJI said that would mean the company "would be

prevented from launching new products in the U.S. market through

no fault of its own, but simply because no agency chose to take

on the work of studying our products."
