So I ended up at their booth today. The drone detector is kinda cool, might actually be useful for interference hunting, but probably way expensive. They're doing various things with directional antennas operating in a 'radar' type of setup where they use various tight pattern antennas either on an automatic rotator, or handheld to determine the direction a signal is coming from. Nothing really special except the integration is pretty well done....
On the other hand, the jammers get even more scary. Yes, they will only sell them to legitimate users, i.e. miliatary and/or legal government users. So probably have little risk of one showing up in most of our markets, except for of course the fact that the military probably already has similar technology. They've got one which puts 20W each band per sector into 4 sectors to get 360* of blocking. They've also got one which has a pistol grip attached to a directional antenna and somewhat lower output power. Interesting product, not sure how many of these they're going to sell, although I guess if you got even a small military to buy multiple copies it would probably pay for development. But I sure wouldn't want one of these turned on in my neighborhood.
