Drone Pens

December's rash of mysterious drone flights over Langley Air Force Base has changed how the U.S. plans to defend against such threats domestically.
Are we designing a system to keep the pigs (agents of accountability) out, or keep the pigs in? You have noticed the absence of DoD activity ?

[War Zone] Snippet: Despite all the evidence that we have brought up over the years that points to foreign actors using drones to collect intelligence about U.S. military tactics, techniques, and procedures, Guillot insisted he does not know of any “organized or unorganized foreign nexus.”

So whom does that leave ?

Are they training for some upcoming event ?

#3 PNNL - Drones Fly Low and Slow for Radiation Detection (Atomic City News)

Unoccupied aerial vehicles, better known as drones, have rapidly advanced from a quirky, high-flying novelty to a versatile workhorse.

They are tools for search and rescue, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring, and perhaps even package hauling.

One day, they may work with humans to augment the task of conducting surveys to detect low levels of radiation—information that could contribute to the decommissioning of sites no longer needed for nuclear-related energy production or research.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers found that drones have potential to conduct decommissioning radiological surveys, but further research is needed before the devices are approved for decommissioning purposes. The PNNL researchers detailed their findings for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the recently released proof-of-concept report, “Drones for Decommissioning.”

“Drones would be particularly useful in areas that are unsafe for humans to access due to things like terrain that’s difficult to walk on,” said Amoret Bunn, an environmental engineer at PNNL and a study author. “Drones could also survey vertical surfaces that humans can't get to like the outside of a tall building.”
