| Shooting Down an Enemy UAV so it cannot give | | | | net. Remember the reason we do not litter six |
| away military movement intelligence.We know | | | | pack plastic holders? Because they get caught |
| that with any new innovation in warfare or | | | | up in the beaks of wildlife migrating birds |
| any new theme that comes along or borrowed | | | | and sea life. And remember how you catch a |
| technology from another industry to help in | | | | butterfly? With a net. So then you have a |
| the ongoing struggle and conflict of man is | | | | plastic high tensile strength foldable net |
| short lived.For instance the V-1 Rocket, | | | | 1000 foot high, 2000 foot wide. When you see |
| Nuclear Bomb, Aircraft, balloon, musket, | | | | the UAV swarm or possible threat to your |
| tank, steel ship, sword, missile or even the | | | | position by way of intelligence gathering by |
| helmet once the initial advantage was | | | | an enemy UAV. Then you send up the net |
| discovered then the enemy or future potential | | | | attached to two hovering UAVs, which fly at |
| enemy had the same weapons and therefore more | | | | an 85-degree angle in the direction of the |
| innovation had to occur to regain the | | | | threat. The net is anchored at the humvee |
| advantage. Although this crazy cycle never | | | | SUVs on the ground and once the UAV vertical |
| ends, it has brought us many good things too; | | | | units are tugged too far they fly forward 300 |
| Nuclear Power, microwave Ovens, Modern | | | | feet and allow the net to disconnect making |
| Communication, Airline Transport, Safer | | | | it fall to the ground in an arch shape with |
| Automobiles, Lighter Materials, on and on. | | | | the foreign matter enemy UAVs caught in the |
| And that is a cycle through transfers of | | | | net. Then you learn the frequencies used to |
| technology, which will also continue, and | | | | transmit and down the rest by way of radio |
| therefore mankind and our future has many | | | | disruption without hurting your own |
| brighter days ahead in every sector of our | | | | communications systems. Even if the enemy has |
| endeavors.These cycles are so well known of | | | | some type of radar to see the net, the net is |
| new advances causing new advances in warfare | | | | plastic by Dupont. If the enemy tries to |
| that Von Clauswitz noted in his books On War. | | | | develop a radar to detect this then it will |
| We see in this latest Iraqi conflict, | | | | add weight and thus enemy UAV will have a |
| Afghanistan outing and in the war on | | | | shortened range.Shooting down a UAV is not a |
| terrorism that the Predator and other | | | | good use of weaponry unless you could do it |
| expensive UAVs helped quite a bit. Now then, | | | | using a small style shoulder launched red eye |
| the cost to build these is not good for our | | | | round. But still a modern stinger type |
| enemy so do not expect them to attain the two | | | | missile is more costly than what you are |
| squadrons of Predators that the US Air Force | | | | shooting down and a shoulder launched missile |
| has ordered which would total 40 aircraft. | | | | that is heat seeking cannot work as the heat |
| Our enemy will however try to copy our | | | | displacement of a RC model airplane which is |
| smaller UAV designs that are based on the fun | | | | all this is, is very little and thus the |
| flying radio-controlled aircraft of sportsmen | | | | target hard to hit. Now realize the amount of |
| on 7 continents. Now then how do you down a | | | | money going into these UAV tests and models |
| UAV, well if it is truly controlled by Radio | | | | is significant compared to the local hobby |
| Waves, you can disrupt them yes? Yes, but | | | | shop, so someone ought to get their sharp |
| what if it is controlled by other means or | | | | pencil out and figure out a way to 10,000 to |
| can fly for a distance using inherent airfoil | | | | 20,000 of these things for massive swarms for |
| stability through dihedral of the wings or | | | | the price of one or two 15 million dollar |
| proper use of vertical and horizontal | | | | aircraft. Because clearly this is all they |
| stabilizers or a canard? Then the glider once | | | | are worth.And remember part of Moore's Law |

| Even more fearful is that while in-flight it | | | | to make. Downing enemy UAVs is as important |
| can continue it's mission if the camera | | | | as making them. Because once you show |
| settings are set to work free from control | | | | viability of concept they will be making them |
| and when the fuel runs out will continue to | | | | and our enemies will also have them. A net is |
