AT&T And NASA To Build National Drone Tracking System

The largest telecommunications company in the world wants to serve as a watchdog for all drones in the United States — and in the process, play a major role in supervising the national airspace.

On Nov. 10, AT&T announced that it was collaborating with NASA to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management program to allow agencies to monitor drones. An AT&T release states this program will make it safer for drone operators to plan and monitor flight paths, navigate drones, and use drones for surveillance. The company stated that its main focus is to lower the risk of drone-related cyberattacks.

Many commercial drones available today are easy to hack and some hackers have even exposed vulnerabilities in drones used by government agencies. Someone taking over a hobbyist’s DJI Phantom might not be a national crisis, but a hacker could theoretically hack an internet-connected drone to access the network of the agency that operates it, much in the same way that a vulnerable internet of things device can serve as a gateway to other computers on the same network. If a hacker were to find a standardized code that has exploits, they could potentially take over every one of those drones. As drones become more sophisticated, a hacker could even weaponize drones, creating a “Black Mirror”-like scenario.

    Another scenario with the cameras and the drones,microphones,smart phones,fingerprints,different tracking sensors,tracking chips in stuff,with the mass urbanisation of course,predictive programming with the globalist book “1984” by Orwell…the only difference is that they use small drones and not helicopters for surveillance.
    All the books for the NWO and the use of the machines against the humanity are also predictive programming,the Big Brother realities around the world,The Terminator movies,The Matrix…
    Bruce Willis is using touch screen menu on a big computer screen in the movie “Die Hard 1” when he has to go in the party to see his wife…when 1988,we have it on our smart phones now!
    Have you heard about the Unabomber-you must have heard something so far!
    He is a genius and a prophet that sees what will happen with all this technology-it will be used against us!It is used against us!
    Because he is a genius he had to make and send bombs to draw attention because you can`t really draw such when you are street preacher if you want to be taken seriously.The unabomber was/is right…
