Drone exam · Security

An unknown drone hovers near a site, and a staff member proposes jamming its control signal with improvised equipment. What should the operator do?

Answer

Do not use counter UAS measures unless the organisation has clear legal authority and approved capability. Follow the site's security and law enforcement response process.

Explanation

Jamming, takeover, or interference can be unlawful and can create additional aviation hazards. Observation and reporting are often the appropriate actions for ordinary operators.
