Sound Waves Capable of Knocking Down Drones
An easier and more efficient way of knocking out drones from the sky has been found by the scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. The method is to target sound waves at the gyroscopes of drones. The gyroscope is used by all the unmanned aircrafts to track the craft’s orientation and move towards the side, thus allowing the aircraft to maneuver … [Read more...] about Sound Waves Capable of Knocking Down Drones
