1iding from Drones

Drones are e'uipped %it e8tremely po%erful camera9s % ic can detect people and ve icles at an altitude of several kilometers. Most drones are e'uipped %it nig t vision* and!or infrared vision camera9s* so(called F546 sensors. + ese can see uman eat signatures from far a%ay* day or nig t. 1o%ever t ere are %ays to ide from drones. $. Day camouflage: 1ide in t e s ado%s of buildings or trees. Use t ick forests as natural camouflage or use camouflage nets. #. 3ig t camouflage: ide inside buildings or under protection of trees or foliage. Do not use flas lig ts or ve icle spot lig ts* even at long distances. Drones can easily spot t is during nig t missions.

/. 1eat camouflage: Emergency blankets ,so(called space blankets- made of Mylar can block infrared rays. 7earing a space blanket as a ponc o at nig t %ill ide your eat signature from infrared detection. Also in summer % en t e temperature is bet%een /;<C and =.<C* infrared camera9s cannot distinguis bet%een body and its surroundings. =. 7ait for bad %eat er. Drones cannot operate in ig %inds* smoke* rainstorms or eavy %eat er conditions. >. 3o %ireless communication. Using mobile p ones or G"S based communication %ill possibly compromise your location. ;. Spreading reflective pieces of glass or mirrored material on a car on a roof %ill confuse t e drone9s camera. ?. Decoys. Use manne'uins or uman(si0ed dolls to mislead t e drone9s reconnaissance.

1acking Drones
Drones are remote controlled. + e pilots operating t e drone can be t ousands of kilometers a%ay at Ground Control stations. + e control link is t e satellite transmitted datalink by % ic t e pilot controls t e plane. @y Aamming or intercepting t e datalink* one can interfere %it t e drones controls. + e data link can be encrypted but often is not. $. 4nterception. A sop isticated tec ni'ue is using sky grabber soft%are %it a satellite dis and a +B tuner to intercept t e drone9s fre'uencies. Communication from and to t e drone can be intercepted. #. 4nterference. @y broadcasting on different fre'uencies or pack of fre'uencies t e link bet%een t e drone pilot and t e drone can be disconnected. /. G"S spoofing. Small* portable G"S transmitters can send fake G"S signals and disrupt t e Drones navigation systems. + is can be used* for e8ample* to steer drones into self( destruction flig t pat s or even iAack t em and land t em on a run%ay.
