Experts Test Methods to Identify Malicious Drones Ahead of Tokyo Olympic Games
A private organization has conducted an experiment to detect malicious drones to prepare for next year's Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
According to a news report, firms that specialize in aeronautical engineering played a key role in a demonstration at a site in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture. During the test, drones were fitted with location transmitters that were classified as friendly devices, while those that did not provide such data were regarded as suspicious, says the report. Experts used the information to make on-the-spot assessments, which will be later reported and submitted to a public-private panel on drones.
