DRONE SURVIVAL GUIDE

Hiding from Drones
​

Drones are equipped with extremely powerful camera’s which can detect people and vehicles at an altitude of several kilometers. Most drones are equipped with night vision, and/or infrared vision camera’s, so-called FLIR sensors. These can see human heat signatures from far away, day or night. However there are ways to hide from drones.

Day camouflage: Hide in the shadows of buildings or trees.

Use thick forests as natural camouflage or use camouflage nets.

Night camouflage: hide inside buildings or under protection of trees or foliage. Do not use flashlights or vehicle spot lights, even at long distances. Drones can easily spot this during night missions.

Heat camouflage: Emergency blankets (so-called space blankets) made of Mylar can block infrared rays. Wearing a space blanket as a poncho at night will hide your heat signature from infrared detection. Also in summer when the temperature is between 36°C and 40°C, infrared camera’s cannot distinguish between body and its surroundings.

Wait for bad weather: Drones cannot operate in high winds, smoke, rainstorms or heavy weather conditions.

No wireless communication: Using mobile phones or GPS based communication will possibly compromise your location.

Spreading reflective pieces of glass or mirrored material on a car on a roof will confuse the drone’s camera.

Decoys: Use mannequins or human-sized dolls to mislead the drone’s reconnaissance.​

Hacking Drones
​

Drones are remote controlled: The pilots operating the drone can be thousands of kilometers away at Ground Control stations. The control link is the satellite transmitted datalink by which the pilot controls the plane. By jamming or intercepting the datalink, one can interfere with the drones controls. The data link can be encrypted but often is not.

Interception: A sophisticated technique is using sky grabber software with a satellite dish and a TV tuner to intercept the drone’s frequencies. Communication from and to the drone can be intercepted.

Interference: By broadcasting on different frequencies or pack of frequencies the link between the drone pilot and the drone can be disconnected.

GPS spoofing: Small, portable GPS transmitters can send fake GPS signals and disrupt the Drones navigation systems. This can be used, for example, to steer drones into self-destruction flight paths or even hijack them and land them on a runway.

Awesome guide.

Osama Bin Laden did almost all that and still got killed.

U cant find him in mountain caves with drone

 

[Victory]

My country is free from drones

lol....i think guides like are gonna be very common worldwide once skynet comes online

Now he needs to put unmanned underwater vehicle as well as unmanned ground vehicle avoidance guide.

Dress up like prengnant woman, no drone operator will kill you..
hide the beard and AK btw...

This brilliant Drone Survival Guide contains "the silhouettes of the most common drone species used today and in the near future," each drawn to scale and marked as surveillance or killing machines.

You can print it yourself (PDF) or order a folded offset print on Chromolux ALU-E mirrored paper.
They claim the guide itself can be used as a defense against drone cameras because of its mirrored surface.

Have they tested that theory because I'm still seeing a lot of dead terrorists.

I dont know. Did not Iran hack a US drone ??

 

[Oldman1]

I dont know. Did not Iran hack a US drone ??

So they said. But that be like claiming the Taliban hacked a dozen of Predator drones from the crashes. And why claim it? Shouldn't it be kept secret?

Good survival guide, it's useful.
BTW pls add China "LiJian" stealth UAV

I remember the drone had a safe landing. Someone forced it to land. Russian or Chinese electronic warfare was behind the attack. Both Chinese and Russians engineers went to Iran to see this drone.

Really? It looked all banged up and lost of wheels. Taped up and put back together.

The wheels are gone, and the wing broken. But still ok.
