Company Releases Video of First Ever Drone Neutralizer GunBy Amanda Warren The companys name sounds like a cross between battle and the toy company Mattel Battelle, based in Ohio. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to get your hands on one of these to keep surveillance bots out of your private space they are only being marketed to the U.S. Government. The U.S. Sci-tech contractor will make them available to the government next year, signaling that it is really only government agents that are able to protect themselves from the very invasive weapons that they themselves monopolize. Many industries are legally using drones such as the media. If they get too close to a story, can their camera simply be grounded unless authorized by the government? Dan Stamm, leader of research for the company says: The DroneDefender can help protect us from those who may wish to do us harm. It can help us in numerous settings, from the White House lawn to bases and embassies overseas; from prisons and schools to historic sites. It easily and reliably neutralizes the threat. Watch it in action: Description: Drones are great, but not when someone is doing something bad with one, like dropping contraband into a prison or flying into restricted airspace. Weve got an answer. *Due to U.S. Federal regulations, this is a simulation of our DroneDefender. It has, though, been successfully tested in field trials.

Couldnt believe I was seeing this for the first time on MSN. This is useless for private citizens, unless you want to stop the USPC and Amazon from recording your personal and private property. The USAF has been approved by the FAA, to put 30,000 drones in the sky over the U.S. They fly at 20-30,000 feet above sea level. 400 meters doesnt touch them. 30,000 ft you say? Only a matter of time then before they take down a commercial jet like a bird in the turbines. Dont forget they can be hacked as well. It wont be long (if they havent already) before some inventive high school student or ham radio operator comes up with an equivalent and puts it on Craigslist or eBay. Not for civilians, huh? I guess my old 12 ga. will have to suffice until we can get one of those dandy ray guns for ourselves.
