The Pentagon Takes Aim at Bomb-Carrying Consumer Drones<\/span><\/h1>\nTerrorist groups are turning a popular hobby item into a deadly strategic challenge.<\/span><\/h2>\nby Justin Bachman

They\u2019re cheap, they\u2019re light, and they can carry a small bomb: The commercial drone is essentially a new terror gadget for organizations such as Hezbollah, Islamic State, or anyone else looking to wreak havoc on a budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the same quad copter you can get on Groupon or go down to Sam\u2019s Club and buy for $400,\u201d U.S. Marine Corps Commandant General Robert Neller said last week at a Washington forum on future warfare. The elusive nature of small drones is one reason the federal government has designated the District of Columbia a \u201cnational defense airspace\u201d and prohibited drone flights there. A recent spate of drone-related incidents, including one last year in which a drone crashed on the White House lawn, probably didn\u2019t help, either.<\/p>\n
But the problem is no longer about enthusiasts with a bad sense of direction. Weaponized to various degrees of sophistication, such unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are now being used in the Syrian civil war<\/a> and along parts of Lebanese and Syrian borders with Israel, where Hezbollah holds sway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cThere has been an increasing concern in the military and a wider acceptance of how pernicious this problem is going to be, moving forward,\u201d says Andrew Metrick, an intelligence security analyst at the Center for Strategic & International Studies. \u201cFrom a U.S. and allies perspective, we haven\u2019t had to think about how to fight where we don\u2019t have total aerial supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The U.S. military has begun studying small drones and how best to respond. Earlier this month, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a request for ideas on how to protect troops from the new threat; it is planning a workshop next month. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for scalable, modular, and affordable approaches that could be fielded within the next three to four years and could rapidly evolve with threat and tactical advancements,\u201d a DARPA program manager, Jean-Charles Led\u00e9, said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\nCloser to the battlefield, the Marine Corps has begun integrating small drones into training exercises at the Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif., Neller said. A Marine or soldier who spots a drone overhead would typically shoot it down, but smaller drones can operate surreptitiously and elude radar since they are barely larger than a bird. Their small motors make acoustic detection enormously hard, and while wide-area camera sensors deployed on the ground might detect a drone, they usually require large computational resources in the field. One solution is an electronic signal jammer to prevent a drone\u2019s operator from flying within a certain vicinity, an approach that U.S. forces have studied.<\/p>\n
Unlike an improvised explosive device (IED), an enemy using a small drone \u201ccan\u2019t blow up a tank, but you can more easily attack individual war fighters, you can collect intelligence, and you can tie down a lot of resources by forcing U.S. personnel to respond to the danger,\u201d said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute. \u201cIf you think there\u2019s a drone nearby that might be watching you or might be a threat, then you have to be more careful\u2014and that means you\u2019re distracted from your primary mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth noting that the U.S. also deploys small drones, typically for reconnaissance and surveillance. One of these, called Switchblade<\/a> (PDF), is a model from California-based Aerovironment Inc. that\u2019s been used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. The 5.5 pound drone can carry a lethal charge and has been flown in Syria, Metrick said.<\/p>\nWhen it comes to large drones, the U.S. has shown itself\u2014somewhat controversially\u2014to have no current peer. Remotely piloted Reaper and Predator drones have been used in thousands of attacks, including \u201ctargeted killings\u201d for more than a decade. And the U.S. has major ocean-going drones: The autonomous Echo Voyager from Boeing Co., for example, can patrol underwater for months.<\/p>\n
Those drones are all highly advanced platforms, with technology and price tags that put them far out of reach of almost all but the most advanced militaries. For the guerrilla masses, the numerous cheaper, lightweight models are far more accessible. Their easiest use would be simply to monitor U.S. activities. But it\u2019s their potential for modified, deadlier use that worries U.S. military tacticians.<\/p>\n
