Federal Prison System Wants Anti-Drone Technology (networkworld.com)
coondoggie writes: Looking to counter the threat unmanned aircraft might bring to Federal prison guards and prisoners, the Federal Bureau of Prisons is looking at what types of technology could be used to defeat the drones. The group, which is an agency of the Department of Justice, issued a Request for Information specifically targeting what it called a fully integrated system that will allow for the detection, tracking, interdiction, engagement and neutralization of small — less than 55lb — unmanned aerial systems.
That takes all the sport out of the whole damn thing. They already have anti drone tech and it's called a Benelli Super 90, perhaps they can't see it over the Dunkin Doughnuts box.
I don't understand. Wouldn't that take a pretty large cannon? It doesn't seem practical.
