Soon, drones will become a huge part of our lives. All your FedEx packages, Amazon orders, and even your pizzas will get delivered at your doorstep by these things. And of course, there will be bad drones too, like using them for hacking or stealing. How are we gonna fight those drones?
The Dutch National Police has the perfect solution to that problem. They are now training eagles to take down and capture drones that pose a risk to civilians (see video).
Obviously, it’s the perfect solution because unlike drones, which are vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, eagles work based on instincts.
The drone hunting eagles are still in their early training. The Dutch Police officers are working on making the hunting process safer for the eagles, as the drones’ rotors pose a danger to the creature.
Let’s just hope these eagles won’t get in the way of your KFC drone delivery.
