• Drones can be fun to fly, but they're also a headache for security.
Drones are flying spies, poking their nose in sensitive areas, and there
are rising concerns they could be used as flying improvised explosive
devices (IEDs.)
• Small, nimble, and fast, drones are hard to shoot down . Even then,
shooting at a drone with a weapon presents a problem—missed shots
can endanger the public.

for electronic warfare, as first reported by
motherboard. The gun looks like a

11. The laser focuses on the tail of the drone, which is a good
way to disable it. A laser gun has to keep the beam on the
target for long enough to burn through something crucial.
Better targeting and more powerful beams both improve a
laser’s ability to destroy a drone. In Boeing’s test, it took
15 seconds to destroy the target.

• The Blighter works by severing the invisible tether of radio frequency commands that
connects the drone with its operator. Cut the tether and the drone can no longer receive
commands. The drone will fall out of the sky or fly on until it crashes.
• Blighter consists of three pieces of equipment. The first, an air security radar, scans for
incoming drones. Once detected, it hands off the target to the EO (electro-optical) tracker.
The EO tracker, which features a 12x zoom and thermal imager, locks onto the drone and
allows the operator to visually inspect it.
13. • Once the operator decides the drone must die, he activates the Directional Radio
Frequency Inhibitor. This is the "gun" of the system, which "fires" directed radio signals at
the same frequency as the drone's controls. Unable to receive further commands, the
drone is effectively neutralized.
• Blighter's system is promising, and could help to keep the skies free of bullets. The
system may continue to work against commercial drones,

• Maldrone may be the world’s first drone virus – infecting approaching drones with
malware and dropping them out of the air like a bag of hammers.
• The Python-language script has been successfully tested by inserting the code into a
Parrot AR Drone via Wi-Fi.
• Maldrone was originally intended to demonstrate security vulnerabilities in consumer-level
drones rather than as a malicious “drone death ray.” Nevertheless, it’s not difficult to see
how such a drone zapper could easily be distributed among the hacker community as a
malicious way to stop drones.
