Drone Killer weapon wows techies, law enforcement at Border Security Expo
Andy Morabe, director of business development for IXI Technology, says he can take down any drone with the drone gun he's developed, including any that might be flown over the southern U.S. border by drug cartels.
His Drone Killer gun is the first and only hand-held device that can take down a drone without blowing it up, and it quickly became a favorite among law enforcement officials at the Border Security Expo here this week.
While many Americans think of drones as toys, DHS and local law enforcement agencies around the country are becoming increasingly worried about the threat they pose to national security.
In January 2015, a drunken government employee infamously flew a drone over the White House grounds. The incident was followed by similar ones again in May and then in October, prompting government and private-sector officials to consider the need to protect vulnerable places from the new potential medium for spying or attacks.
