With this you can shoot down the neighbor’s drone – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): Buzzing. Irritant. Suspicious. An unidentified flying object on reconnaissance sorties right outside your bedroom window.

The neighbor’s drone is nearly to drive you nuts.

Anti-aircraft

Now the American R & development organization Battelle developed a tool that may be of help.

“DroneDefender” is a portable handguns designed to uskaddeliggjøre airborne drones of suspicious or threatening nature.

– DroneDefender can protect us from those who had want to hurt us, says Dan Stamm, a senior project manager, in a press release.

Aim and shoot

From distances up to 400 meters can 5 kg heavy weapon, with an unexpected exhaust , defuse drones or other flying objects. The weapon uses radio signals to “jam” the drone – before it can be used against military or civilian targets.

Drone Kill guy override the drone own instruments and forcing a controlled landing without the risk of the drone is to overthrow or detonate in sensitive areas.

It is the increasing commercial use of drones that arouses the attention of the American defense and security authorities.

– With increased availability also increases the risk. We can not just shoot down drones near people, writes Batelle on its website.

Hobby Drones

Also in Norway’s hobby usage of drones growing. For under a thousand tag anyone can buy a drone with user-friendly remote control and camera functions.

There are no prerequisites, age or education. Previously drone operators obtain permission to film, but this provision now includes only commercial use.

The CAA has prepared a simple operation manual for flying of aircraft operators have to deal with.

The regulation states that the drone must always be within sight, but with a maximum distance of 300 meters. The drone can moreover not fly higher than 130 meters.

A new updated regulations for unmanned aircraft (RPAS) is scheduled to be completed by 1 January 2016.

Dangerous for aviation traffic

Camera Drones controlled by hobby users have been involved in several serious incidents in Norway in recent years.

The first Norwegian collision between aircraft and drone happened Sunday, August 30th in Tjome Municipality. According AIBN found a fly in the 800 meters altitude when aircraft pilot spotted a drone before he heard a bang.

In one approach routes at Roros Airport was in August observed a drone on a par with air travel.

– The drone was as high as air travel goes. There was no problems there and then, but in the worst case, this could have had fatal consequences, says chief air traffic controller at Avinor in Røros, Gudbrand Rognes, to Adresseavisen.

In connection with the extensive fire in Laerdal in January 2014 created drones problems for helicopters participated in rescue efforts. Drone pilot was reviewed.

– We must react, and do it with a review, says the Inspector General of the Air Force, Major General Finn Kristian Hannestad to ABC News.

Norwegian authorities fear that the growing popularity will lead to far more serious accidents.

– I would encourage anyone thinking to fly a drone to familiarize themselves with the regulations, and always take the necessary security, says communications manager Avinor Kristian Løksa in a press release.

Not on store shelves yet

It is unclear when “DroneDefender” are to find on store shelves.

Commercial distribution requires authorizations from the FCC, a US federal administrative agency that regulates telecommunications, broadcasting through radio waves and the use of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Until then get neighbor drone fly safely.
