Police Eagles vs Drones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc_ovddVRKE Hi, I just saw an article in a Dutch on-line newspaper, with a video clip, that they have trained captive eagles to snatch drones and bring them to the trainers. This is for drones that are in sensitive places where they should not be. Low tech meets high tech,and wins. Mort Linder |

Battery-powered junk. They can't make it too heavy or too strong. Ironically, U.S. battle drones costs as much or more than manned fighter aircraft. "Battle drone"? Where did you find that monicker and why single out the US? Certainly there are some very capable UCAV or UAV to found operated by the USA, and quite a large number of other governments. The US has the very capable MQ-9 "Reaper" which has a unit cost of $16.9M which are operated by the USAF, US Customs & Border Protection, NASA, the RAF, Australia, France, Germany, and the Italian Airforce. The Netherlands, and Spain have some on order planned to be fully operational by early 2017. They also have the Predator-C/"Avenger" at $12-$15M. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The X-47A/B/C "Pegasus" is a Grumman UCAV developed for the US Navy, and it has made carrier landing and launch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B https://youtu.be/kw3m7bqrQ64 It even has a Pratt &Whitney Canada engine. Then the UK has its new BAE "Raven" and the French have their €25M Dassault nEUROn. I don't think the Dutch eagle/hawk drone killer program is going to take any of those down. -- Regards, Savageduck |
