Gadget ReviewMeet Flock's Alpha Drone – It Reads License Plates from 2,000 FeetFlock Safety's Alpha drone reads license plates from 2,000 feet and plugs into its existing ALPR network, raising serious surveillance concerns.
Would these drones show up on flight radar?
Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.
Replying to @decolo@piefed.social
I doubt they run ADS-B transceivers, but perhaps they do. In that case picking up the signal is almost trivial with a cheap SDR but the relatively low altitude means it might not show up on flightradar if there isn’t one of their receivers in sight
