The drone invasion now underway

One of my favorite topics, of course. It's going to explode our world like the Internet did.

Even FPS Russia has one. :hmmm: Charlene. "In the next 10 to 15 years, sheet is going to get very real". Yeah, I imagine so. Although I don't see a receiver for his submachine gun....

The Dutch had an idea

The feet (or talons for fact prudes) are protected by a plastic sock.
It's not mentioned here, but it was on the Facebook video I couldn't link here.

I was reading the other day that....
 

A university engineering program has developed a drone that can operate in air or water.:o

Link?

I guess that means it's not safe to go in the water either.

Not exqactly the kind of drone that delivers swift justice from on high.

10 years ago, I don't think anyone would have predicted this

Eagles trained to hunt man-made drones

Perhaps not even for drones...

:O:

I'm thinking that a repeating dart shooter mounted on a revolving turret would do for that eagle quite nicely. :shucks:

So what happens if a quadcopter/drone flies over your yard and you manage to shoot it down somehow?:hmmm:

you guys are overthinking this, simply send up your own drone trailing a few lengths of twine and fly over the drone. it will instantly disable and "capture" the other drone. you then simply bring your drone in and the offending drone now can be disabled permanently and done with as you wish.

if you want to avoid the capture scenario then attach the twine to your drone with sewing thread that will break off as soon as the offending drones blades get wrapped in it. this avoids any and all claims against you doing anything since you never touched it, your decorative strings just "accidently" got tangled with his intruding drone. your are covered by a million miles of gray area law just as they use to spy on you without legal consequence.

then again, you could get you one of those Drone-Hunting Eagles

Quote:

Falconry began in China around 2,000 B.C., and slowly spread west, reaching Britain by 860 A.D. The Normans restricted falconry rights to the upper classes, and peasants could be hanged for keeping hawks. Yeomen were allowed to use short-winged hawks to hunt for food, as they were 'ignoble'. Out of this practice the French came to refer to goshawks as cuisiniers. Commoners weren't allowed to have the more noble long-winged falcons.

I imagine we'll have to waste ignoble eagles!:O: when the drone goes KABLOOOEY!
