MITRE Corporation has put a $100,000 bounty on misbehaving drones through a contest aimed at bringing them down. The not-for-profit think tank, which does a lot of government-sponsored research, says it's "working with multiple federal agencies" to come up with system(s) that can detect small drones that might pose a threat and then force them to land safely with their payloads intact. "The potential for nefarious use of this technology is unsettling and has become a major safety and security concern for multiple Federal agencies," MITRE said in a news release announcing its brainiac contest.
