Drone Expert: We Lack the Kinetic Response from Law Enforcement to Combat Hardened Drones

EXCERPT:

ANDERSON: "So, these drones were taken out of the sky. The way that we test that is in special facilities. We're a kind of drone company. We build auto aiming firearms to actually take them down with bullets. A common method for drones to be taken out of the sky via law enforcement and agencies is with electromagnetic weapons like jammers and spoofers and microwaves, but they don‘t work against drones that are hardened. And that, I think, is a really scary undertone to this whole drone mystery, is that we lack the kinetic responses necessary with our law enforcement and federal agencies, although the DOD does maintain that — "

PHILLIP: "You said drones that are hardened, meaning that they are made to not be taken out of the sky."

ANDERSON: "Right. Yeah. And it‘s a very simple thing to do. Like, microwaves, to harden a drone from microwaves frying it, there's a copper tape."
