$100,000 Drone Detection Contest
By Russ Niles
MITRE Corporation has put a $100,000 bounty on misbehaving drones through a
contest aimed at bringing them down.
I call dibbs on the ACME rocket-fired, fishnet/parachute.

I'm thinkin' more along the lines of a light weight, directed EMP field
generator ... :-) Something like a radar transmitter that would
electromagneticly overwhelm the GPS and servo-control receivers aboard the UAS,
or better yet powerful enough disable the RX front-end electronics, or to
actually induce sufficient current into the control wiring to lock-up the uP.
A smarter approach might be to employ a high wattage RF transmitter to over
power the "perpetrator's" puny signal, and wrest control of the UAS ...
Of course, a Regain-era "Star-Wars" laser is a natural for the NRA crowed if
accurate targeting could be developed, and collateral damage minimized.
