Software that takes over dangerous and offcourse drones will come to market next month. Perth and US Maryland based Department 13 says it is readying its Mesmer technology which can detect dangerous drones, for example drones transporting weapons and drugs, identify and force them to land. It says the technology is suited to national security, defence and commercial applications. But the company says it’s not seeking to shoot down drones, which is a safety problem itself. Instead D13 sought to make drones land safely. “We believe that making drones fall from the sky is a bad thing,” Mr Hunter says.
