Get Outta My Airspace!

Post by Sean Hayden » Sun Dec 30, 2018 3:45 am

So the neighbor likes to fly his drone above the neighborhood and there have been some complaints. I don't have a problem with it. I don't feel targeted. But some people do.

So I'm thinking it might be time for Americans to demand their own private airspace, and when we do I want to provide the defense systems. I can specialize in things like backyard SAM systems --when accuracy and safety counts, trust...

Yard Force ??? --too lame

American Lawn & Missile --too narrow

help me out guys.

Yeah, and there are always going to be people who don't see the point. But then there are the guys who still play with toys. Your own backyard air force is going to require a lot of toying around. The app alone will keep some guys occupied for days tweaking their defenses.

In Western Australia, several drones operated by farmers checking their crops have been attacked and destroyed by Wedge-tailed eagles...

The police here have trained hawks to take them down. Our air space is protected by law. You can only fly drones in open spaces and not over or near buildings.
Here is a map from the government where can and cannot fly. The drone cannot be heavier than 25 kilos.

Only in the white areas up to a height of 150 metres.

It maybe worth your while to check local laws.

Should have a good acronym. How about Residential Anti-drone Incursion Defense Systems -- RAIDS.

Wodehouse's prose is one of the delights of English literature, in my opinion. I think you won't go wrong by checking him out. :)
