Weapons makers declare war on Drones- From today's WSJ

Wonder if FAA registered drone users will one day have to have a chip in the drone to broadcast the number to avoid this kind of thing. Not only the drone cost, but the cost to the taxpayer of shooting it down unnecessarily.

I've been saying this all along. Built in transponder with your number.
 
I can see a jammer working but picking it up on radar and then being able to target a MP2 would be a major challenge if it is moving at any speed. there is just not enough of a radar cross section for the radar. flying low would make it even harder. I would guess that the "attack" system would have to be deployed almost next to the drone....

Technology is evolving a little faster than you may be aware. I mean if they can shoot individual mosquitos with lasers I'm pretty sure MP2s wouldn't be much of a challenge :-)

Well, there goes the arms race! If you build a better mouse trap the mice will start arming themselves...
