What officials are doing—and suggesting—to learn more about the possible drone sightings CNN What officials are doing—and suggesting—to learn more about the possible drone sightings Dean Vijay Kumar of the School of Engineering and Applied Science says that the main difficulties in detecting and tracking drones stem from their small size, agility, and potential for autonomous operation. Why you shouldn’t try to shoot down a suspected drone CNN Why you shouldn’t try to shoot down a suspected drone Dean Vijay Kumar of the School of Engineering and Applied Science says that shooting at potential drones could lead to missed shots, stray bullets, or accidents that result in hazardous outcomes far beyond the intended action. What New Jersey’s mystery drones could actually be, according to experts Newsweek What New Jersey’s mystery drones could actually be, according to experts Dean Vijay Kumar of the School of Engineering and Applied believes that mystery drones in New Jersey are part a U.S. government operation rather than being sent by a foreign state actor.
