A loosely organized confederacy of independent developmental renegades
Signal60 Technologies
This high-tech law enforcement division of Snow & Associates is a
continuation of the heavy-lift drone company GRIFF Aviation North
America, later renamed NUAVIATION.
Both companies fell victim to the regulatory environment that prohibits cargo
drones from proliferating in the US until the FAA is able to create meaningful regulations.
However, a spinoff of these now inactive companies is Signal60 Technologies, which will be
manufacturing two platforms... the TASAR Tactical Active Shooter Aerial Response stationary
drone, and DronEagle, a device that will locate, track, and disable intruder drones about to
penetrate a special no-fly zone. Both systems are patent pending.
The TASAR system incorporates sophisticated applications that
enable the unit to be stationary by using a tether for power and will
acoustically locate a shooter at an outdoor gathering such as major
sporting events, concerts, political rallies, marathon runs, parades, and the like. The system
then blinds the shooter with a Boeing 767 landing light and provides a live video feed to
responding law enforcement.
The DronEagle system is a smaller version of the TASAR,
but just as dynamic. This platform is strictly for the detection,
tracking, and neutralizing of an intruding UAV heading toward
a major event for which a “no-fly zone” has been established. The
system consists of a tethered UAV airframe into which the latest drone detection technology
has been incorporated.
Here are some of the preliminary features of this up and coming product.
