DARPA: As drones become faster, smarter and able to carry larger payloads over longer distances, they pose a real threat if used as weapons. So the military is trying to develop countermeasures to hit them in the sky, including a new approach that launches them into movies.
Aiming and dropping a drone from the sky is not impossible, but it is not easy. So the military throws a lot money for the development of an anti-drone technology, just as for the development of drone technology.
Η DARPA, ο Οργανισμός Προηγμένων Ερευνητικών Έργων για την Άμυνα των ΗΠΑ (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), φαίνεται να έχει αναπτύξει έναν εναλλακτικό τρόπο εξουδετέρωσης των drones σύμφωνα με το παρακάτω βίντεο που δείχνει ένα drone drone να πέφτει στο έδαφος μετά την ρίψη ταινιών. Η Αχίλλειος πτέρνα των περισσότερων drone, των οποίων η ευελιξία και η σταθερότητα στον αέρα εξαρτώνται από την περιστροφή όλων των ελίκων ταυτόχρονα, είναι να βρεθεί ένας τρόπος απενεργοποίησης ενός ή περισσοτέρων από αυτούς.

Η DARPA ανέπτυξε ένα σύστημα για την detection, locating and monitoring drones, as well as an automated system that makes predictions about the flight path. It then automatically activates its reusable “weapons” in the field, and waits to see which of the two can reach the drone first.
Instead of lasers, bullets, or nets, the last approach to neutralizing the threat is to launch a cap of strong tape as it spreads as it travels through the air, increasing the chance of being wrapped in at least one drone propeller, which will stop the whole boat.
