Most recently it introduced a new version of its handheld “DroneGun,” which scrambles the UAV’s signal so that it has no choice but to safely put itself down, as these devices are generally programmed to do.
It goes into ATTI mode... and drifts... into the crowd??I too wonder, although article did indicate if (optional) GPS block, it would land else return to known location (I guess they meant RTH if GPS unblocked).. I can’t recall what phantom behaviour is under RC looses contact AND no if GPS - it can’t return home obviously, does it land? It would on critical battery eventually nodoubt.

Really?
DJI drones (>70% of drones out in the wild) are programmed to RTH if they lose signal.
I wonder if these things really work or if the sales talk is just bluff.
In that situation, the Phantom would use GPS to come home since GPS is available but not being used.Yes valid senario me thinks, I guess one could try by (setting RTH if loss of control) then putting Phantom some distance and height away, switch over to ATTI mode then disconnect RC & see what happens.. bugs me I don’t know [emoji848]
Yeah, I highly doubt these interference -based systems would have any effect at all on a Litchi mission.Not sure how a Litchi mission or similar would play into this.
That’s what I was thinkingIn that situation, the Phantom would use GPS to come home since GPS is available but not being used.
You would have to block GPS with something like aluminium foil to test properly.
The literature I pointed to did mention GPS disruption I believe.Yeah, I highly doubt these interference -based systems would have any effect at all on a Litchi mission.
Like so many other things, it's just a pointless cat and mouse game.
The literature I pointed to did mention GPS disruption I believe.
Even if it’s being done by law enforcement?Again, did not review, but jamming is illegal.
I wonder how they get away with this then
