Drones Soon to Land in your Yard: Time to look at Military Stocks
Faulty Drone Software caused a helicopter to strafe Washington DC about a month ago and brings into question what the hell is going on out there in our Video Game society. The day is coming when one of those mallards lands in your front yard and kills your dog.
The U.S. Navy has admitted that it lost control of a helicopter drone during a test flight in Maryland earlier this month, leaving it to fly unguided for more than 30 minutes and 23 miles and violating Washington’s restricted airspace. The drone’s operators eventually regained control and got the drone safely back to base. The Navy tells the New York Times that a “software issue” caused the snafu.
The drone, a Northrop Grumman MQ-8B Navy Fire Scout, is supposed to have a failsafe system that directs it to land safely if it loses its communication link with the controller on the ground. That obviously didn’t happen on the drone’s Aug. 2 flight, and it made a beeline from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in southern Maryland, where it was being tested, toward Washington. It was roughly 40 miles from the capital before the Navy regained control.
All six of the Navy’s Fire Scouts have been grounded while naval investigators figure out what happened. According to the Times, the drones are used for surveillance, and one was instrumental in the Coast Guard interdiction of 60 kilos of cocaine off tCentral America last spring.
It’s unclear how frequently drones fly in U.S. skies. Some local police departments have already begun using them for law enforcement, and the Department of Homeland Security began using drones to monitor the border with Mexico in June. Many cities — and drone manufacturers — are pushing the Federal Aviation Administration to update its rules and allow for wider use in the United States.
