Does anyone have any information related to counter-uav-stuff? The RRT IV Science and Technology Committee is seeking any relevant contacts or resources to become better informed on the potential application of these tools in the oil and Hazmat response environment. So any information that can be provided here would likely be helpful.
The views expressed on this forum are of the individual and not necessarily of the SCiDUC Organization.
This isn't my field but what kind of stuff were you looking for? Do you have a particular application such as law enforcement or for a penitentiary?

So almost any information that can be provided here would likely be helpful. I added this to my initial post for clarity. Thanks!
The only folks I've heard express an interest in intercept and security at the meetings were from Corrections..

That stuff looks really expensive.
By comparison, I think you could simply broadcast your own wide-band interference signal, basically for free, IF you can find a way to do so without violating FCC rules.
The research conducted by the RRT IV Science and Technology Committee found a number of available technologies, but the most efficient (legal) solution for excluding unwanted civilian UAV traffic from (official) environmental incidents may simply be the establishment of a TFR (via request to FAA representation within RRT).
The next obvious question is, how responsive and impervious are the geo-fencing control restrictions established by DJI and other manufacturers? Assuming the TFR is in place, I think the average non-malevolent (I realize that this is little aid to counter-terrorism efforts) civilian pilot is likely to take the hint (or they can answer to the FAA) if they are made aware.
Now I'm just speculating. If the feds want a gesture of cooperation from foreign tech manufacturers, said firms could form an industry standard of absolute real-time regulatory compliance in control software. Not only would this provide a little more peace-of-mind for officials, but it may ease some of concerns regarding the legality of specific operations conducted by recreational/professional RPICs.
