Drone Defense
Drones are constantly invading peoples privacy and going were they aren't suppose to go. The only thing that we can do to stop them is throw rocks in there general directions. Or is it? There soon might be another way. The army has been tinkering with Wi-Fi antenna and Raspberry Pi (a $35 computer). They have put them together in the shape of a gun and pointed it at a drone. The results are hijacked drones. This could be the future weapon for defense against drone attacks.
The army is not the only people to try creating a anti-drone weapon. The Battelle Memorial Institute have created a gun that they call the DroneDefender. The gun is made out of a giant antenna attached to a rifle stock and the maker of the DroneDefender (Zack Epstein) claims that it will let you mess with the controls and GPS signal of the drone and take control of it. This weapon is meant for government uses and has not been legalized yet. Which ever gun works better and if the DroneDefender will ever be used is yet to be seen, but we know one thing. Soon there will be a way to take down drones and protect your privacy.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteI am not really certain why people would want to invade other people's privacy since they already discuss about their entire life on social media. Seriously though, is this what the government has been investing on? Invading people's privacy?!
