Does anyone know how realistic it would be to use direction finding technology to identify the location of the operators?

- riskable 10y agoExtremely unrealistic. Such technology requires either a lot of moving around or antennas everywhere to triangulate the thing you're looking for. It takes less than 30 seconds to get a drone out of a car and into the air. I know because I've built my own out of (mostly) trash two years ago... https://imgur.com/AKXLlX3 https://imgur.com/AKXLlX3 What's interesting is that the militants appear to be using FPV tech to navigate the drones to their targets. It's expensive compared to cheap Arduino-based flight controllers with GPSes attached that you can program with a phone over Bluetooth. Then again, FPV is fairly idiot-proof whereas the Bluetooth GPS option requires a bit of technical expertise. The kind of expertise you're unlikely to find inside ISIS.
