Claims19
A method for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the method comprises:
- transmitting, using a transmitter, disruption signals for introducing communication errors between the drone and the remote control unit during multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods thereby inducing the drone to slow or stop a progress of the drone towards the target and perform multiple communication amendment attempts without executing, by the drone, a failsafe plan;
- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- wherein a miscommunication pattern formed by the multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods differs from an estimated miscommunication pattern that triggers an execution, by the drone, of the failsafe plan.
A method for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the method comprises:
- transmitting, using a transmitter, disruption signals for introducing communication errors between the drone and the remote control unit during multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods thereby inducing the drone to slow or stop a progress of the drone towards the target and perform multiple communication amendment attempts without executing, by the drone, a failsafe plan;
- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the disruption signals during multiple spaced apart transmission periods that at least partially overlap at least two miscommunication periods of the multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods.
A method for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the method comprises:
- transmitting, using a transmitter, disruption signals for introducing communication errors between the drone and the remote control unit during multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods thereby inducing the drone to slow or stop a progress of the drone towards the target and perform multiple communication amendment attempts without executing, by the drone, a failsafe plan;
- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- and
- verifying that the drone performed a reconnection attempt following a transmission of disruption signals during a miscommunication period of the multiple space apart miscommunication periods.
A method for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the method comprises:
- transmitting, using a transmitter, disruption signals for introducing communication errors between the drone and the remote control unit during multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods thereby inducing the drone to slow or stop a progress of the drone towards the target and perform multiple communication amendment attempts without executing, by the drone, a failsafe plan;
- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the disruption signals during multiple spaced apart transmission periods, wherein disruption signals transmitted during at least two of the multiple spaced apart transmission periods differ from each other.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:
- transmitting, using a transmitter, disruption signals for introducing communication errors between the drone and the remote control unit during multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods thereby inducing the drone to slow or stop a progress of the drone towards the target and perform multiple communication amendment attempts without executing, by the drone, a failsafe plan;
- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the disruption signals during multiple spaced apart transmission periods that at least partially overlap at least two miscommunication periods of the multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:

- wherein the introducing of the communication errors comprises disconnecting the drone from the remote control unit and wherein the multiple communication amendments attempts are reconnection attempts;
- wherein a miscommunication pattern formed by the multiple spaced apart miscommunication periods differs from an estimated miscommunication pattern that triggers an execution, by the drone, of the failsafe plan.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for slowing or stopping a progress, towards a target, of a drone controlled by a remote control unit, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:
