#drone security

Drones can be useful to monitor your property for hazards, planning or trespassers but they can also be used against you to violate your peace and privacy rights. An FAA License is required to fly a drone (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) over property that is not yours. Whether you're a novice drone pilot or have many years of aviation experience, rules and safety tips exist to help you fly safely in the national airspace. In general terms regarding security from drones; it's best to keep your stuff out of sight if drones are a concern of yours. They are becoming more sophisticated with each passing day and you must educate yourself on the most current technology. Shooting them down could cause unwanted attention. A license is not required to shoot one out of the sky over your property. And it's not difficult; they are very fragile and nearly any projectile (slingshot/rock, bb/pelle gun, shotgun, etc.) will take them out. Things to consider before shooting them out of the sky: - The delivery method should not be traced back from the projectile (slingshot, BB/Pellet gun, shotgun). - A silent form of projectile delivery (slingshot or pellet/BB rifle) is recommended - Use a projectile that, when descending* back to earth is not likely to cause harm to others (BB, pellet, birdshot) - Avoid being identified on [the drone] camera^ (wear a disguise, stay out-of-sight and away from your address) - * For the safety of others, be aware of what is behind your target - ^ Unless remote recording is used by the drone pilot, capturing the drone means you can capture the on-board video (SD) card. - Don't keep any evidence.

Drone Gimbal Market trajectory towards 2033 is shaped by the relentless drive for autonomy and data integration. U.S. Drone Gimbal Market recorded a sale of 190 thousand units in 2024 and is estimated to reach a volume of 560 thousand units by 2033 with a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. The upcoming decade will see the transition of gimbals from passive stabilization devices into active, AI-native platforms capable of processing data in real-time, effectively becoming the "brain" behind the drone’s camera system.

One of the most significant anticipated changes is the widespread adoption of real-time image processing directly on the gimbal hardware. This allows the system to analyze footage on the fly, detecting objects or defects before the data is even transmitted to the ground station. This "edge computing" capability is a game-changer for surveillance and search-and-rescue, where every second counts and the ability to instantly flag a target in a live feed can save lives.

We also expect to see a democratization of this technology. As the manufacturing processes become more automated and the costs of components continue to drop, professional-grade stabilization will become standard even on entry-level commercial drones. This shift will empower smaller businesses and independent filmmakers to compete with larger agencies, democratizing high-quality aerial data collection and fostering a more vibrant and innovative industry ecosystem across the globe.

Parrot drones ‘vulnerable to flying hack attack’

By Leo Kelion Technology reporter, BBC

A security researcher has created a flying contraption that he says can hijack control of other flying drones made by one of the industry’s leading manufacturers, Parrot.

Samy Kamkar said he was able to achieve the feat…
