Arachno 1D Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) For the past year, the Dutch National Police and raptor training company Guard From Above have been investigating whether eagles could be an effective way of dealing with potentially dangerous drones. The trials have been a resounding success, Dutch police officials said, and today they announced that they’re ready to operationally deploy an anti-drone team of specially trained bald eagles and their human partners. This video shows a demo that the Dutch police put on yesterday of a drone threatening a mock state visit. The eagle vs. drone action starts at about 1:50. http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/drones/dutch-police-buy-four-sea-eagle-chicks-for-antidrone-hit-squad Emn1ty, FunkyMike and Hum 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachno 1D Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 A cheaper solution may be a flaregun lauched stranded netting bundle that would be entangled in the blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
