gotta figure a way to disable them...
Hire another drone pilot to net them. There are tons of guys who would do that for free just to engage in combat.
Not a solution. In the recent problems at Gatwick, there is no advance warning that a drone will be operating in the area of the airport. The drones have been very mobile and have not stayed in the same area long enough to be tracked by conventional means. So, in order to engage, you'd have to have multiple drones in the air 24/7, ready to respond immediately to a drone sighting, and then the pilot (flying by POV) would have to find a drone that does not want to be found, and intercept it as it is flying a path designed to evade being followed.
I Good point Tom. Would a strong microwave burst disable drones?
Would have to be very strong, and focused. "Whoops! Didn't see that bald eagle!"
drones are a useful tool when used for the right purposes,but since the are readily available to purchase,they can also be a danger..this seems to be happening more and more...
