I don't like that programme and Deborah M is an old battle axe.

I do like the chap that was told to sling his hook and made a success: www.trunki.co.uk

Ummm, I somehow don't think the chap with the anti pirate camera thingy is going to be one of them....

Was the drone supposed to be on the ship? And was it going to be bullet/RPG proof?

It was an insane idea - the drone was going to pepper spray the pirates- that'll scare them away.

Well I doubt it was legal and how do you deploy a cloud effectively? I don't agree with the Dragons that Pirates are hard to identify at all. The major problems with this are that he would need a huge monitoring station employing vast numbers of people, it would use vast amounts of sat data and I think it is quite likely that with the swells it could easily miss some attacks. The delivery method of the drone would require a long range VHF signal, the chances of shooting the drone down are high and if a cloud was deployed they would probably hold their breath and close their eyes until they were through it.

Poor chap what a waste of money.

He didn't waste any money, he spent money enjoying what he was interested in and got to go on television as a result and pitch his hobbie to potentially make it commercial.

Hat off to him, most of us are wage slaves and don't add any value to the humanity of the world we just service it.

Anyway I have an idea, pretty simple but unless you like ACDC and a man you just won't understand it ;-))
