French government to introduce new
innovation as it moves to condition eagles to take part of their strategy to
improve air safety in and around the country’s airspace due to several threats
being posed by drones.
According to sources, the French
Airforce is beginning to condition eagles to see drones as prey as a result of worries
over the use drones in the country.
The eagles are being trained to
stop drones mid-flight if they are found to be security risk. And are being
trained before their eggs are being hatched. Part of the training is that the
eagle’s eggs would be placed on drones to get them prepared and young chicks
feeding from them
If at the end of any operation
they are successful, the eagles would have some pieces of meat awarded to them,
for a job well done. Therefore, for any operation to be successful, they must
be able to bring one of the battery-charged units down from the sky.
There has serious worries
concerning drones in France, because of how they are being seen hovering above
a sensitive military base in Brittany and the presidential palace in Paris.
Thus, legislation restricting the
usage of drones in urban areas of France has been brought in.
Dutch police have also trained
eagles in the technique for catching drones.
