For now. Eventually when they've got these in every district they outsource drone piloting to save cost, either to India or AI.
Honestly, im not 100% against the concept. It's like a sprinkler system, but for shooters. And i reckon school resource officers aren't held to much of a standard either so...
That's a good point about the wifi jammers i admit. But I don't know of any active shooter events that involved someone who put that level of thought into it, not to say there arent any its just... idk.. Couldn't be that hard to swat it out of the air in a hallway...
Shooting reported on school campus.
Teach pulls out gun to protect students from shooter
Teacher mowed down by drone.
How are they supposed to know who the shooter is? If it's just finding the one with the gun, then I assume you have to ban teachers from bringing guns again.
That's why we need to invest in better facial recognition technology and keep detailed records of the movements of everyone in the world. How else will our autonomous killing machines know who the bad guys are? It's for your own good citizen.
I mean, presumably the pilot would be able to tell because the teacher with the gun is barricaded in a room with students theyre not shooting
If they're using anything other than shit tier components they can have a load of different control and video frequencies on different drones, all in the same building. No serious drone is gonna be reliant on fucking wifi, unless it's a child's toy lol
You need to revisit the question with the idea of "what will maximize profits" in mind.
Well I don't think having your drone system get paralyzed by relying on wifi is gonna be good for profits. That means they failed on their mission and they lost a load of reputation and have to start over with something better.
Maybe I'm just FPV-brained, but it seems really trivial to make jamming a difficult task even if you only have access to chinese parts, at least in the context of kids. As long as the company doesn't show their cards (control and video frequencies, how it's stored when not in use, fhss patterns (if any), how it connects to the operators) it seems difficult to mess up.
I mean. I always see stuff to indicate the shooters put a shit ton of thought into it. I have yet to see one were in the morning they were like. lol gonna gun it up.
