I was just there. It is a strange place to aim to commit a complicated suicide.
That being said the entire street has boarded up windows still, and you arent allowed near the site. There is a guard stationed a full block away to tell you this. 5 months later.
Wtf
Would be interesting to fly a drone in.
If security is that tight they are most likely jamming any frequency a commercial or retail drone would use for communication, and possibly even directed energy weapons against anything they can see/hear.
One of the first customers for Elon Musk's Starlink internet constellation was the US Military. This makes it easier for them to block any ground radio communications, GPS satellites can be downgraded for civilians at the drop of a hat. Now, Starlink uses a phased antenna array which is self-steering and compact.
Basically, with Musk putting 14,000 satellites into low Earth orbit with point to point laser links. We would have the most reliable communications network ever, and that doesn't count all the money he would be making off that.
I think the latencies are sub 40ms, and sometimes as good as 20ms.
basically, I'm saying I think if you can't get anywhere near there, you certainly won't get a drone anywhere near there.
That sounds like a good opportunity to make a drone that's completely guided by pre-defined algorithms that doesn't care about being jammed. Could be like developing an RTS AI algorithm - fly around some waypoints, avoid obstacles, film around and return to start and maybe only then start receiving communications so you can land it if you don't trust its algos
They still have a perimeter set up like an active crime scene then?
The entire road is fenced off at each end and a guard set up a block forward.
Wouldn't want people to realize it wasn't a surface detonation.
