I thought i'd post a quick follow on from the previous entry about remote disabling of drones, now that the second (yeah, second) drone-detection company is about to list on the Australian stock exchange.
DroneShield - with their acoustic detection technology - is about to list, and their tech at a distance/glance looks ok, detect, alert - cool. Picks up the sounds of 4 props (or more, or a fixed wing, etc - i'm sure they're testing threats right...), up to 1km away - sends a text message. Sounds useful. Sort of, I guess you see it coming at least?
This is alongside Department 13, also a US company with a backdoor listing earlier in 2016.
Interesting times, reminds me of the information security industry in it's infancy, detect/alert! anti-virus with signatures! Walled garden, everything will work just fine! oh .. wait, it wont. I see the drone coming, now what?
