It seems like the firefighters should have a device to disrupt the radio frequencies of the drones in these cases. Whoever is operating them near a disaster such as this one is being an inconsiderate, thoughtless jerk.

there are plenty of autonomous systems that require no tx/rx link. They are usually for photography on fixed courses, after which they return to a home. Destroy them mechanically if you want them out of the sky.

  Would it be possible to hit them with flak cannons, or are they too low?

I'd rather they spent the money on fighting the fires - starting an electronic war against the drone fliers would be terrible. That, and the wide-spectrum jammers they require (2.4, 900mhz, what else do they use?) would probably wreak havoc on operational frequencies.

I was at the beach the other day, and this drone was flying too close to my friend in a skimpy bathing suit. It was probally innocent, but got me thinking about a drone hack I read a year ago. Basically, this guy put together a hacking drone that I believe uses Aircrack-ng, and node-ar-drone(I have never heard of this program?) to capture signals of the target drone. Once captured, the hacking drone flys off with the target drone, and takes it home. The parts are :Using a Parrot AR.Drone 2, a Raspberry Pi, a USB battery, an Alfa AWUS036H wireless transmitter, aircrack-ng, node-ar-drone, node.js, and my SkyJac http://samy.pl/skyjack/ http://samy.pl/skyjack/ Has anyone tried this hack? just curious? I would definetly stop irritating drone operators? while I Believe Hobby Drones(with height limitations built in the software) Are An Overstated Danger To A Aircraft; There should be laws prohibiting them at emergencies/events, with low flying aircraft. If I saw a drone interfering with an emergency situation, or hovering over my residence; I might take a chance and high jack the offending drone--if this hack worked?
