Saying non credible af here, but in theory one could add a upwards facing shotgun shells on top of the helmet, triggered by a Camera/proximity sensor if it detects a drone/falling grande. Maybe add a gyroscope to check if the helmet is actually facing upwards before triggering. All in all unit cost could be below 250$
- 6x 12 gauge shells with bird shot
- Raspberry pi type controller
- USB cam
- Laser distance sensor
- gyroscope
- servo trigger
I feel like just having a designated drone spotter/shooter in a squad would be more effective than this.
You need to MIC that shit up, there is no way our districts can profit off that.
Stick a multi strategy drone detector on an MRAP and pair it with an automated proprietary small bore shotgun chaingun. Like a baby Phalanx that shoots .4 bore.
It will take some time before it stops shooting birds, but all that can be taken care of in future iterations that require retrofitting that is not covered by the maintenance contract.
the birds thing is a feature, high protein snack precooked via tracer
My in laws have a pigeon problem.
Can I borrow the prototype?
Too credible
