There are drones with 4G comms. Shutting off the entire local phone network may be less acceptable.

- semi-extrinsic 8y agoI recon for ~$300 in parts your "typical hardware hacker" could build a rig that would focus 600W of microwave energy into a parabolic dish with reasonably tight beam. That shouldn't really affect anything but the drone. If I was building a drone to do sabotage, I'd build a comms link around modulated NIR lasers targeted with mirrors rotated by microsteppers.

I wonder if you could communicate with a drone from orbit (obviously in clear conditions).
- unethical_ban 8y ago*reckon I thought you were saying you do reconnaissance for $300 before finishing the sentence.
- tjoff 8y agoCan't you just jam it with a very directional antenna?
- berkut 8y agoYou need to find where it is first and be able to track it.
- tjoff 8y agoFinding it doesn't seem hard, it really seemed to try to get as much attention as possible. And without being able to command it or GPS it shouldn't be hard to track it either.
