Anti-drone weapon

Depends on its software and how it handles loss of signal to its ground station & gps.   Loss of gps is serious.  

 

What is unsaid is if someone gets one of these and hauls it out to the airport it would probably do a number on low flying commercial craft during take-off and landing cycles etc.   It would probably mess up any number of other things too.   Jamming tech does not generally need to be in the hands of idiots.   And it doesn't take a degree in electronics to boost the signal to jam stuff farther away.  

 

You can also hack a goodly number of the drones.   Many hobby ones and smaller sized ones don't even encrypt their signals.  Just do the listen and repeat routine and you can echo its comms and start telling it to do stuff.   Basic hackery stuff.

I couldn't get the link to open. Will try again later.

The use of jamming technology is illegal, and is enforced. Not too long ago there was a guy rolled up in Nashville for using a gps jammer. Life was not easy for him.

I don’t know why people get so paranoid about drones. They are great recreational toys and used in legitimate business. Like guns, (or most anything else) they have the potential for abuse, but that needs to be dealt with when it happens. If someone destroys my property while I am using it lawfully, they will be arrested and prosecuted as fully as I can make happen.

bad hobby.get caught jamming or disrupting gps,especially near an airport, one will face hard federal time. theres sniff gear already in place at strategic locations that works amazingly well, with incredible accuracy.
Of course the libtards have already addressed this by posting no drones allowed or gps jamming signs in the neighborhood........ justsayin

punt gun!

 

As far as using it at a manned airplane, I was thinking that the sort doing it would not really be too keen on respecting the law.   Its illegal to jam most signals without some sort of permission, for sure.   I think hospitals can do it,  law enforcement and military can do it, and a very small number of others.   The device shown is billed as being for law enforcement.

I always wanted a remote controlled plane or helicopter when I was a kid...still do, especially now that they can take pics and video.

When it was a toy I don't recall there being so much paranoia. Now that they're called drones everyone acts like the sky is falling. :panic:

Back in the day, drones that people could buy were toys.  With today's digital cameras, they are a peeping tom's wet dream.  I got no problem with someone owning and flying one, but don't expect to fly one in my backyard or be peeking in my windows with one.  I'll warn you the first time and I'll take it out of the sky the next time, if your stupid enough to ignore me.

I ordered a Nano QX for $80 so I could learn to fly it before I bought a $500 quad and put my $400 GoPro on it… and crashed. But I can’t get the controller set-up right so I can even take off. So I’ll have to wait until I find a kid to set it up for me. biggrin.gif

Photography and video is a hobby of mine. That no more makes me a perv than carrying a gun makes me a psycho nut case.

If you are stupid enough to shoot a drone flying through the neighborhood; make sure you keep bond money on you, and be prepared to lose your HCP.

Go back and read what I said. You have no business in my backyard or peeking in my windows. And I didn't say I would shoot it down. You did.

Window peeping is a crime. Flying a drone across your property isn’t; and if you intentionally damage the drone it’s a criminal act.

I've watched a friend of mine fly his DJI Phantom...it was impressive. From the ground you can't tell where the camera is pointing. So, blindly assuming that a drone flying near you means the pilot is specifically filming you sounds a little paranoid and narcissistic IMO. I mean it's possible, I guess, but unless it's hovering at your window, it's kind of a stretch.

you can use a fish eye to record almost a full 360 looking down.   You can also de-fisheye the footage to watch normal video of an area, and you can even observe the same spot on the ground for many seconds with a slow flying craft by shifting the picture each frame to keep it on the same spot.    None of this is terribly new or difficult.

 

It takes big money to get details.  You are talking usually a football field or farther video distance,  and to see your face well enough to recognize it or see your nakedness thru a window with it is about impossible unless the device is capable of sustained hovering.   If it is hovering, it will be obvious what is going on if its doing so a short distance outside your window while you stand there naked looking at it.   Its difficult to look in a window from more than 100 feet away or so, reflections, screens, curtains, dirt, and all that ... TRY it, try looking in a window from a distance.   Try it again with some binocs.    Its difficult to do this without very pricy gear and even then its not fun.   Cheap, standard hobby Infrared won't go thru windows.

What exactly is a lawful use?

What rights to property owners have with regards to invasive snooping?

flying around having fun is a lawful use.  Aerial photography is a thing.  Presumably they have the same rights as any remote controlled craft currently (?).   Not all of them even have a camera, and are not even capable of "snooping".     I dunno about flying over property, but I do know that you can't shoot down some guy in an ultralight with a video cam flying over your place.
