It would not be sensible to have the two systems integrated in any way. I don't believe most of what the news reports say. My biggest issue is with drones. The media does not know the difference between a combat equipped drone and a hobby drone. To them a drone is a drone is a....... Any of them will wreak havoc and destruction on the world. I believe this led to the FAA getting there nose under the tent with regard to hobby drones being used commercially. Someone at the FAA also noticed that some entrepreneurs were making money with hobby sized drones that carried no weapons. The FAA decided they had to manage these operations to limit the profits to be had. How can drone operation for a hobby be any safer than operating a drone for some commercial purpose? The media sells air time and disaster holds the viewer interest. I apologize for stealing the thread but the note about the media got my adrenalin flowing. Lyle On 5/17/2015 1:10 PM, Eric M.
