BTW - you're awesome, especially if you've read this much. There's not many like you - Thanks for hanging out with me here for a few minutes.
THE SKYDIO is a videographer’s dream - it’s the one I have, and it is impressive to say the least. THE AUTEL EVO II runs around $6 thousand and features can detect temperature fluctuations, vehicles, and individuals and animals too using thermal imaging with a 640 x 512 resolution. DELTA QUAD can carry a 1.2 kilogram payload, fly for 150km, is fully autonomous, and can fly in the rain and snow. Freefly Systems Alta X comes in at $20,000 but can fly with a 22 pound payload. The ScanEagle is a small, long-endurance low altitude UAV. General Atomics delivered the MQ-1 Predator and has provided aerial reconnaissance and forward observation roles as well as being outfitted with hellfire missiles. Northrop Grumman developed the RQ-4 Global Hawk that provides a broad overview and systematic surveillance using high-resolution synthetic operator radar.
VISIBLE light sensors are the most cost effective, and while; however, they are also easy to defeat. NIGHT VISION SENSORS using active IR Infrared Radiation utilizes the same basic principle as the human eye - visible light energy hits something, bounces off and a detector receives it and turns it into an image. FLIR - Forward-Looking Infrared Camera uses thermographic cameras that senses infrared radiation These THERMAL imagers are passive and only sense differences in heat and do not see reflected light, so they aren’t affected by headlights, smoke, haze, or dust. MULTISPECTRAL sensors are something all together different. primarily used for agriculture, weather forecasting, space-based imaging, and has had some military applications captures data within a specific wavelength across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Outstanding! The SERE Challenge will have thermal drones one day

[@STOKERMATIC]

I got one on my list!

[@memathews]

Nice compilation and description of using these devices. I spent 13 years working with a very small DC who built electronic systems and subsystems for the primes and smaller suppliers (Scan Eagle, Integrator, Fire Scout, Reaper, GH, and more). The abilities are incredible, but they can be fooled and they depend heavily on the operator analysis. One must think of themselves as a signal generator that needs to reduce observable signals across all planes. FYI, we ran a program that required us to use tracking on components to avoid competitive-state manufacture, U.S. manufacture was our top request and extremely difficult, and pricy, to provide.

[@jerryj3047]

yup you are right

@@STOKERMATIC Unfortunately, I can't on an open internet, but well done you hit all basic..

[@johndalessandro6433]

Yup, this technology is scary. So far more advanced since I got out in ' 91 . We had thermal images on subs just before I got out to search for hot spots in fire situations. They looked like a huge deer spotter . Now they can fit in the palm of your hand. But, even with this technogy,everything has limitations. Natural things such as terrain, vegetation, severe weather ect. Thats why still to this day there is no weapon as reliable as a trained human.

Awesome Bill. Thanks!

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Really good information Bill! If the war in Ukraine has shown the world anything, its that lower cost drones have changed the way wars will be fought in the future! FYI: When our agency first got IR scopes, we learned that even at close distance, if someone is behind glass they won't be seen.

[@joeyjones9041]

I totally agree

[@brentwentfishing]

I was trying to explain this to a bugout partner just the other day. If they want to find you bad enough then they will unless you are highly disciplined. None of us want to end up in a FEMA camp involuntarily. This is a great starting point for the uninitiated. Thank you Top! I am AF.

[@charlesstevenson5141]

I was just watching you military area recon video and I was going to address what to do about avoiding UAV detection and low and behold, here's the video. Biggest draw back is trackers on foot using thermal imaging. It would be crazy jard to hide in the dark then because itll be super difficult to stay hidden.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Dependent on the distance, terrain and vegetation, yes.

[@stuartniven2401]

Great video! Thanks!

[@marclucier2533]

Fantastic content. Great knowledge to have in the tool kit. I feel we sometimes take our eyes of the skies

[@P6009D]

After all, it is possible to amplify sound waves from a distance so that a person's speech can be eavesdropped. It must be possible to use such equipment to amplify the sound of drones. When looking for atroids, you take pictures with a certain time delay to see which objects are moving. This can be seen with the naked eye. If we can use different sensors to detect what is on the ground, then the same sensors must be able to be aimed at the sky to detect what is there.

[@Dibbin]

Have you seen the Chinese drone machine guns?

[@mervmartin2112]

It is illegal to jam. Drone controllers operate on 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 433MHz and 915MHz. Again it is illegal to jam.

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Great info. Questions: 1) How well do IR read red or green lamp light? 2) When we wore woodland bdu's, we were told that they were difficult to spot with IR as long as we didn't use the wrong laundry detergent or add starch when pressing (obviously I'm not a combat veteran). I never believed it. Was it so?

[@STOKERMATIC]

IR Will see light. How well it does will depend on brightness. Low powered red light will be more difficult to pick up. GI BDUs work well against IR, they don’t seem to “reflect” light (I’m sure there’s a better word for it).

I have worked in the drone industry and I will let you know that some of what you say is true but you unaware of the capability of a lot of the commercial drones and the payloads that they carry. Many of the 100k + sensors can be rented rather than purchased and many agencies and even bad actors rent them.
