Video: Dutch police teaches eagles hunt multicopter
While commercial companies and military units are experimenting with radio interference and drones with nets to catch the drones, the police of the Netherlands uses a simple and versatile weapon: Eagles. Law enforcement agencies have teamed up with the company Guard From Above, engaged in training birds to test how effective the eagles can hunt multicopter.
The low cost of drones makes them suitable for a variety of purposes, including delivery drugs, weapons, maps, pornography and mobile phones in prison , shooting in tight spaces and even probable terrorist attacks . Damage to drones using interference or physical shooting is fraught with consequences, if it occurs in urban areas over the people. Therefore, developers are experimenting including networks: drone can shoot at a target network and capture it , prevent the fall of the crowd.
The video below has footage showing how easy eagle manages to grab multicopter like DJI Phantom in the air. It is not known how much it is safe for the birds. The claws are very sharp predators and can break bones, but that does not mean that the propellers are made of carbon fiber at high speed can not harm the birds. Developers planning to come up with additional protection for birds paws.
Eagles - are not the only animals who instinctively want to destroy multicopter. The same wish kangaroos, gorillas, geese, dogs and cats .
