The Air Force uses technology to jam missiles and even the radars and other radio frequencies for communications so that they can carry out their missions with a lot more safety and a lot less interference. There have been aircraft built to do this and there are also pod mounted types equipment that can be uploaded to aircraft if jamming is the mission. The Navy has a squadron full of electronic warfare aircraft. Maybe it is time for the fire service to adopt similar technologies. I don’t know if it needs to be mounted on a aircraft, or maybe something that can be put up on a telescopic antenna from a truck or a trailer that can be towed behind a pick up, but some kind of frequency jamming device that would obliterate the ability to control any drones in a fire area needs to be developed and adopted. Fighting Wildfire that’s on a high-speed run is a emergency of the first order. I realize that the fire services are also adopting drones to do some of their work, and perhaps they could run on frequencies that the civilian aircraft do not so they would still be controllable. Additionally it might be useful for fire, law enforcement officers to carry radio direction finding gear that may help locate the direction from where the drones are being controlled so that they can focus their efforts on jamming and interdiction. None of these pilots are flying so that they won’t be able to come home to their families, and everybody on the ground truly appreciates all of the work that happens in the air. Flying your drone during emergencies like this is nothing short of absolute selfishness, and hubris. I know, the people who do these things don’t care, but we need to find those people, and prosecute them. They are nearly as bad and as dangerous as the arsonist that sometimes start these fires themselves.
An absolute perfect solution. Yet at the same time it would be nice to deny them the ability to fly them at all. It would be fun to just watch them drop out of the sky because zap.😎 Deceleration trauma is hard on equipment like that. Rightfully so. But I like shotgun damage as well. That made my day!😂 thank you!🙏🏻
Problem is that the dumba** doesn’t read Hotshot
I prefer the laws in Montana for drones intruding an area.

They made it legal to just shoot them down with a shotgun last year in Montana.
