Drone Killers

[J Brown]

Saw this and many other companies displaying similar items while I was at a recent defense contractor show. While this is military grade hardware and most likely very expensive, it proves the technology is already here to bring down drones. Wonder how long it will take to get this technology to the commercial market in a cheaper version?
Something to be aware of as this industry continues to grow at a rapid pace.

The gap is more than enormous between mil-spec systems that can take down multi-million dollar drones and the small unlicensed radios we use. Because the military may have them has no bearing on whether non-military versions may arrive on the market.

Anti-drone weapons available from commercial companies is also highly unlikely. Not to worry- at all. Go out and fly- there are other things to worry about.

I tend to agree. I guess my point was is that the technology is out there now. I have attended this same event for many years and this was the first year anti-drone weapons were on display.

I’d guess that tort law will control drone capture/disabling as in the U.S. FAA owns the sky.
