A Radio Trick Can Tell if a Drone Is Watching You

A Radio Trick Can Tell if a Drone Is Watching You

| Jan 16, 2022 @ 06:28 | BGU cyber security researchers have built a proof-of-concept system for counter-surveillance against spy drones that can determine whether a certain person or object is under aerial surveillance. To do this, they first generate a recognizable pattern on whatever subject, such as a window, that someone might want to guard […]

Drones Relay RFID Signals for Inventory Control

Drones Relay RFID Signals for Inventory Control

By Larry Hardesty | Aug 26, 2017 @ 15:48 | MIT News | MIT researchers have developed a system that could save retailers billions lost through faulty inventory records. Radio frequency ID tags were supposed to revolutionize supply chain management. The dirt-cheap, battery-free tags, which receive power wirelessly from scanners and then broadcast identifying numbers, enable warehouse managers […]

Researchers Collects More Precise Weather, Climate Data with Help from Unmanned Aerial System

Researchers Collects More Precise Weather, Climate Data with Help from Unmanned Aerial System

Aug 16, 2017 @ 08:12 | Last week, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories flew a tethered balloon and an unmanned aerial system, colloquially known as a drone, together for the first time to get Arctic atmospheric temperatures with better location control than ever before. In addition to providing more precise data for weather and climate […]
