Researchers discover drones can be killed by sound - C C - Aug 10, 2015 http://www.visiontimes.com/2015/08/10/researchers-discover-drones-can-be-killed-by-sound.html EXCERPT: In the new fight against drones, scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have found an easy and efficient way to take out drones. Using sound waves, they are able to target the on-board gyroscope that a drone uses to balance itself. The research is being presented in Washington, D.C. next week. Every drone has a gyroscope which is electronic and keeps track of its orientation (tilt and other directional movements); it automatically makes adjustments to keep the drone stable in the air.... RE: Researchers discover drones can be killed by sound - stryder - Aug 10, 2015 Sound can generate physical reverberation, however based upon Moore's law (wikipedia.org) it can be implied that eventually the internal processing mechanisms will be able to process countering the frequency level generating a "distortion".    The only true way to handle drones currently is sync with the frequency that is connected to them (which is difficult if it's design to have an evolving biometric algorithm) and over powering their command signal with a greater powered transmitter.  That will place the drone into using any Artificial Intelligence system that's been prepared to attempt to deal with the attack, it's then knowing the weaknesses in the AI counter command structure.)   for instance it might be possible push a drone in a direction if it Panics and attempts to get away from the overpowering transmission signal (a bit like herding)
