Solution to drone incursions

[Gunfreak]

Last few weeks Norway has had to close down airports and industrial areas because of suspect drone activity. 

 

I think I've come upon the solution.

You want radar guided for that, this thing had trouble reliably hitting airplanes. But yeah, updating the rules on sensitive areas "no flying drones" to "airspace violators will be shredded by flak" should cut down on that sort of thing.

That's a Flak88 isn't it? The only trouble it had was hitting a maneuvering target from 25000ft away reliably (which is expected as that's like 10-12 seconds of flight time). When operated in the ideal environment with a trained crew and synced gun directors, they were very accurate. They were supposed to all be wired in a directed semi-remotely, not manually aimed and calculated by individual gun crews.

Yeah, at medium altitude targets, which means something like 10000-15000ft. Flak 88 is no Shilka, its rate of traverse was far too slow to keep up with low flyers, and it still needed to be loaded manually. Not to mention, a drone is way smaller than a WWII aircraft this thing was designed to kill.

You want something like a Shilka, a fast-tracking, radar-guided SHORAD system.

Just need some sort of automated gun turret and DCS's AI code.

Brilliant.

 

Get 5.000 of them and make them fire in 5 minutes intervals, no more drones problems

Won't work. Drones don't have a head to aim at

Most of the civilian drones that interrupt airport operations are remote controlled, there are microwave guns that can be used to interrupt the communication. Depending on the drone, that either crashes the drone, makes it attempt to land, or at least keeps it in position until it runs out of power. Such microwave guns have been around for a couple years now in various military and police units. There are also antennas and RF spectrum analysis software to detect activity on frequencies typically used by drones and other model aircraft or vehicles.
