Ah. yes, the Mock Prison Riot in Moundsville. This is a VERY depressing place.
The copters can actually be simply and safely forced to ground by simply flying a larger copter over top of them. The downwash from the top one will cause the lower one to fall. Slightly tricky to do in practice, but I figure another year two, it'll all be automatic.
an aerostat would work as a great counter measure get an FAA permit to strap flare cartilages to them with an aiming device. But must be FAA approved first and only used by the prison.
This sounds like a great job for some well placed shotgun birdshot from a guard tower. I keep mine loaded with it just in case it becomes self-aware and tries to go all skynet.
Ban arrows!
:D
I think the most impressive method I have read about is strapping stuff to an arrow shaft and firing it in.
Makes me wonder how long until anti-drone countermeasures start to be employed at these sorts of places. I heard on the news in Canada that this is also becoming a big problem here.
