<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This is Rebecca Beers at the AZ Geological Survey. My colleague (Brian-copied) and I are curious if the University has a recommendation on an American-made drone? We are looking to purchase a new
drone for our department, but I remember an email coming out a while ago stating that the University may not allow Chinese-made drone (DJI) in the future over concerns of metadata leaks. Have you heard anything else on this? We really like our seamless functionality
of DJI, but we are curious if you have found any American-made drones with similar capabilities as the DJI drones? Or has the University stepped back on the concerns of DJI metadata leaks?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
