TechCrunch is reporting that DroneShield is bringing it's anti-drone tech to NASCAR events at the Texas Motor Speedway. The Texas Motor Speedway will employ the DroneSentry, and DroneSentinal, while both are drone detecting, and targeting platforms, the DroneSentry adds the DroneCannon to the mix to disable drones from up to 1.5km away.
in addition they will be using the DroneGun, which is exactly what it sounds like, a rifle style GPS and RF jammer. While the jokes practically write themselves, I can certainly see why you would want to keep drones away from an event like a NASCAR race.
“We are proud to be able to assist a high-profile event like this,” said Oleg Vornik, DroneShield’s CEO, in an email announcing the news. “We also believe that this is significant for DroneShield in that this is the first known live operational use of all three of our key products – DroneSentinel, DroneSentry and DroneGun – by U.S. law enforcement.”
