Do you want to take off your tin foil hat and relax? Then you need the new Anti-drone system for your home.

Very interesting to me because I was in the drone industry for years and worked in the Electronic Countermeasures industry for years before that.

Fact: For every threat, someone will design a counter-threat.

I love it, I wonder what this device will actually do?

Launches SAM's. Supposedly a senator from California is preparing a bill calling for its ban.

 

[Smitty901]

Electronic jamming is already banned by FCC.
By the way it not tin foil hats when it is true. They are using them here.

 

[nathanjns]

If possessing the means to protect your life can be banned, protecting your privacy has no chance at all!

 

[Tzadik]

Ordering the device puts you on a watch list.
People on the list are taken to where they never have to worry about drones again.

Works beautifully. :tinhat2: :danceban:

Folks I can just see the fall out by the Feds if a person were to be caught jamming a drone. I am quite sure it is presently against some FCC rule and if not will be shortly.

I briefly scanned the article, which states there is no jamming and nothing that can interfere with navigation/control. So, my guess it is something that renders the optics useless, not permanently, not by causing damage, but probably something along the lines of "blinding" with civilian grade lasers.

I wonder if it will work with radar imaging as well. It will need to at some point.

Would not "blinding" be a form of jamming? Doesn't jamming cover the full gammet? Anything that would prevent the observer from seeing the actual target? Just a thought.

Ya anything that will give us the upperhand they want to ban it. Go figure.

I sure hope that expensive, silvery metal roof I had installed helps!

If you give your house a tinfoil lining on the inside of your roof. Then let feral pigeons loose in your attic with reflective foil streamers attached to their tails it will keep the drones from locking in on your heat signiature. It's gotta be true, I read it on the internet. You know they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.

I would settle for this device to A) Lock Drones heading B) Drone flies till it runs OUT OF FUEL and crashes or C) Drone crashes into Chem Trail Plane like a SAM.

Stick with tin foil its less expensive................:yup:

Under that logic then putting up a large tarp over your home would be illegal too because it prevents the observer from seeing the actual target.

This will be one of those gimmicks the skirts the realm of legality, and something that won't endear you to LE. Take radar detectors, not illegal, but cops certainly don't cut you any slack when they see them in your car.

I imagine what we are talking about here is a radar guided Ir flood light. They cant use radio frequency as the F.C.C. would not license the transmitter. However the sensors in most digital cameras and even camcorders will pick up infra red fairly well. The flare from the spot would either blind the sensor or cause the exposure compensation to black out the surrounding area. Night vision cameras would be even more dramatic.

For walking the street one could fashion a nice hat band with a couple of IR LEDs. Someone is already marketing baseball caps equipped with them.

How about metallic makeup and hair coloring? :blink:

On topic to drones in general but, modestly off topic to this specific thread.

The Chinese are now getting heavily into drone technology.

Their plan (for the military use of the drone) is not to send just one drone after an intended target but, it is to send hundreds (or more) drones to simultaneously to attack a target.

AKA overwhelm the intended target with so many drones that it will be impossible to "down" them all before a few accomplish/complete the mission.

It's the Swarm Of Angry Stinging Bees concept.
