The company's founder, John Franklin, who has been working in aerospace engineering for seven years, says he hopes to start selling the device sometime this year. He is using the Kickstarter-like IndieGoGo to finance the project.
The device will cost $69 and will be about the size of a USB thumb drive. It will use Raspberry Pi – a tiny, $25 computer – and commercially available microphones to detect drones. He says he imagines that people will attach the Drone Shield to their fences or roofs to protect their home from surveillance.
"People will get the alert and then close their blinds," Franklin says.

One of these and a 10 gauge shotgun loaded with #4 would make a good defense system. I hope he gets it perfected.
ReplyDeleteSounds like this is needed for a little shotgun practice - you know just step out on the porch and fire a couple of shots into the air with your SXS approved by Joey B.
ReplyDelete"People will get the alert and close their blinds" !!!!!!!!!!! WTF??
ReplyDeleteI expect THIS is what this pansyassed pussy would do, probably even go hide under the bed also. THIS is exactly what these jackbooted fucksticks want you to do....tremble and wring your hands. Well fuck them!!!! They might want to see my guns but not the way they think they are.

ReplyDeleteLike hell.
Get the alert and load with buckshot, more like.
If this proves to be a feasible device that
ReplyDeleteworks expect it to be quashed by DHS. If the designer trys to maintain control to make
money he will be targeted for special attention
by the feds. Posting his designs on the web
will make these more widely available but then
the designer doesn't get his due rewards from
a capitalist system. Truly becoming a can't win society.
I'd be happy to do it for him from Australia, Dan.
ReplyDeleteScrew the Feds.
