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.
Already have it, just not advertising it... what a concept...
Glad to see there is an effort to minimize fratricide.
