I know the guys a Blighter, they have a pretty cool radar also used for border patrol and ground defense. A company I work with supplies the radar tracking software for this and related applications.

I caught a short clip on yesterday's news ... apparently there's an outfit training eagles to take down drones. There was a video of an eagle taking after a drone and grabbing it in its talons. Don't know what happens to it from there, but it was kinda neat to see.

When you see people flying drones around with a cell phone one has to think that they are fairly easy to hack, with or without radar and infrared cameras.

I am only surprised we haven't heard the Israelis have not already developed something to do the same job, not just at airports.

Glad to see there is an effort to minimize fratricide.

So did the FAA get an exemption from the FCC to violate existing law that prohibits blocking / interfering with any radio frequencies? What happens when this device 'takes down a drone' and it slams into someone's head, car, etc? I bet the FAA will quickly find themselves on the other end of a lawsuit.
