Just imagine you are at the football stadium, playing football with
your friends and a rogue drone buzzing over you. And suddenly a
majestic eagle hunting down an unmanned aerial vehicle out of the
sky.
Yes! It actually happens. May be you remember the news that, last
year two eagles snatched a DJI drone quadcopter out of the
sky, thinking that it was a meal. Dutch
Police tie up with a raptor training company in Denmark "Guard
from Above" to train raptors to
destroy the rogue drones out of the air. After grabbing the drone,
the eagles locate a safe place to land and try to destroy the drone
by hitting it in the rigid surface.
These majestic aerial predators could soon play a crucial role in
ensuring the skies are cleared from the multifarious dangerous or
rebellious drones, that are putting many lives at risk. Dutch
government want more safer technique than to capture the drone with
an anti drone, so they attain this alternative technique (Eagles) to
catch the errant quadcopters.
Recently, Japanese officials also introduced a new capture device- a
high tensile synthetic net to snag a recalcitrant drone. It creates a
no-fly network, in which one could not able to fly their drone. But
this technique creates numerous difficulties also, as it plummets to
the ground can cause a lot of damage. An eagle solves the problem
entirely, with the razor sharp nails, they can easily capture the
prey, whether it will be a fish, bird or a drone.
But, if you compare with these two, a trained eagle is perfect to
capture the rogue drone. Drones have become increasingly common in
the skies these days. Many agencies are very careful about the safety
of people, large commercial aircraft or even about the privacy, which
these unmanned aerial vehicle can easily invade.
