Is there any kind of cheap and easy crash avoidance system for drones? If so then it should be mandatory in military drones and private drones that are flown over other people's private land or public/government land. If that kind of system doesn't exist then maybe someone should try to build it, "Open Crash Avoidance" or something similar.

- jacquesm 12y agoThe article focuses on military use of drones. Crash avoidance systems are about saving the lives of the pilot more than saving the craft. Drones coming down in one piece will give the enemy more information than drones crashing so the cynic in me says that if you're willing to fly drones over other countries' territory protecting their population will take a back-seat to military objectives. After all piloted craft come with ejection seats and parachutes for the pilots not with parachutes for the whole plane.
