I can see the new qualification, soon to be listed in 310-1. DCDO. Drone Catching Drone Operator. Will that be in the Ops or Logistics section?
Petition the FCC for approval for government agencies to jam drone freqs in protected or closed airspace. I’m sure there is a nerd out there that could develop a directional jamming device to knock them out of the air. If anything a direction finder device can be deployed to identify the location of the operator.
