Dear MEL Topic Readers
Sky battles: Fighting back against rogue drones
As more drones fly in the air to shoot
photos, spray pesticides, or deliver goods, new security concerns arise. There
are numbers of incidents of near-misses not only around airports but also in
mid-air. Also, a drone could be abused by terrorists to carry and drop harmful objects
like a bomb or chemical substance to a target, such as a military facility,
prison, and stadium. Sounds scary indeed, doesn’t it? So, how can we prevent such
malicious attempts from succeeding? Shooting down a suspicious drone sounds like
an easy countermeasure. But it could still cause a damage or harm if the drone is
carrying explosives or chemical materials.
In fact, there already are several ways to
capture or disable intruding drones to protect a perimeter.
Enjoy reading and learn about arising
technologies in the air.
