Oregon Company to Sell Drone Defense Technology to Public
The company says it won't knock drones down, but will stop them from 'completing their mission'

Do you want to keep drones out of your backyard?

An Oregon company says that it has developed and will soon start selling technology that disables unmanned aircraft.

The company, called Domestic Drone Countermeasures, was founded in late February because some of its engineers see unmanned aerial vehicles—which are already being flown by law enforcement in some areas and could see wider commercial integration into American airspace by 2015—as unwanted eyes in the sky.

Good!

Now we just need a DIY defense against those MRAP trucks......

A .50BMG to the front and rear differential and it's a bunker that has to be towed out of the line of fire.

I had an old lefty prof in school. He was at American in the sixties when the tear gas was in the air. He was head of "The Peoples Airforce". He came up with a plan to attach spools of piano wire to the large size Testor's model rockets to tangle the blades of police choppers. I don't think that will work against a predator.

It wouldn't work against helicopters either, it's to light .
Thing to do is take 3 lengths of phone pole and build a dummy SAM sight in your yard .
A little inginuety and imagination will allow you to create the right sensor returns.

True. But I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of the reaction of a chopper pilot seeing rocket fire coming up from the ground. At a minimum he'd be wide awake and pushing for the red button on the joystick that wasn't there.

Drill out the base of the phone poles and pack them with black powder just like a big Este's rocket 
You'd be able to track the helo by the brown streak across the sky

I thought a bunch Mylar helium balloons with wires and Christmas tinsel stuff hanging from them might wreck havoc on helicopters and power lines.  Might take a little experimenting though.  Or maybe a home made cannon shooting a couple of balls with chain or wire between them like the bangers marking their turf with tennis shoes on the wires.

It was called "Chain shot" and was used to shred the rigging of sailing ships.

Thanks Tom, couldn't think of what it was called.  There are similar bolo rounds available for shotguns.
I wonder if mylar balloons and tinsel would work as chaff for drones?
