Brecourt Solutions is developing an attachment intended to let an indoor security drone disable a firearm, founder Jeff Ross told DroneLife in an interview. The drone would strike the weapon and release tiny magnets intended to jam its moving parts, the company says.
Ross says tests have disabled several kinds of firearm, but the equipment remains in research and development. He hopes to offer it to customers by the end of next year; the interview gives no independent test results.
Brecourt's existing iDFR platform combines an indoor drone, video and remote operation. Take-off and landing are automated, but a human pilot flies the aircraft after deployment. The company says its customers also use the platform for alarm checks, patrols and inspections.
