The U.S. Air Force Wants Permission to Shoot Down Civilian Drones
The head of the U.S. Air Force’s Air Combat Command wants permission to deal with civilian drones-including shooting them down-that threaten to interfere with flight operations. (www.airguideonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'm all for it. How about allowing all of us, commercial, business, police, private etc. Being allowed to install some type of electronic device that will knock the drones down if they are close to our airplanes. I have been hearing about too many near misses due to drones in areas where they don't belong.
I hope I don't need my flame suit, it's at the cleaners. :)
I fly a UAV as a hobby, as much fun as my RC flying days and the video's are great to look at later. And yes even though no longer required, it is registered with the F.A.A.
99% of bad drone operations are done by people that are too stupid to know the difference.
The usual answer to these types of issues is "Make it illegal", folks you can't outlaw stupid!

You can outlaw stupid. Hitler did!
That's true but "they" are still afforded protections that many of us are not.
How about the ability and/or permission to shoot down drones that interfere with FIREFIGHTING FLIGHT OPERATIONS? That would be good!
I think FIREFIGHTING FLIGHT OPERATIONS falls under the category of flight operations. So yes.
The article refers to military operations around their airfields. Firefighting operations are civilian operations away from the airports. ANG C130 MAFFS platforms are under civilian direction (and glad to see them).
Don't tell anyone, but I already have a device that will block the signal to the drone and I will use it if I see one over my property. This has become a safety as well as privacy issue and needs to be addressed swiftly and firmly otherwise it will become another "We should have thought about this before the tragedy occurred" problem.
