无人机如何成了恐怖分子的杀人武器(2)
“我们从来没听说过这种事,”福建玩具飞机和无人机生产商天翔(厦门)模型有限公司(Tensho)的经理陈闽芳(音)说。“我们对此一无所知。ISIS怎么会使用我们的产品?我们的产品只销往欧洲和北美市场。我们卖的是玩具飞机。他们怎么给玩具飞机装配武器?”
A Tensho Skyhunter drone was shot down by Syrian forces in 2014, according to the Bard College report.
根据巴德学院的报告,叙利亚军队曾于2014年击落过一架天翔生产的猎鹰(Skyhunter)无人机。
“It's not clear how these drones are ending up in Isis’s hands,” said Dan Gettinger, director of the Bard College Center. although he noted that “they are pretty available from a lot of resellers on the internet”.
“现在还不清楚这些无人机是如何落到ISIS手中的,”巴德学院无人机研究中心主任丹?盖廷格(Dan Gettinger)说。不过,他指出,“网上有很多经销商都在销售无人机。”
Mr Gettinger said that although the drones had not had a strategic impact on fighting, they had been used effectively as propaganda tools, for example by filming attacks.
盖廷格说,虽然无人机并未对战斗产生战略性影响,但它们被有效地用作宣传工具,例如,用于拍摄袭击场面。
“They didn't change the battle in Mosul,” he said. “But they have a larger tactical implication — they compel US military and others to invest in counter-drone systems and improve their capabilities to defend against drones.”
“它们没有改变摩苏尔战役的结果,”他说,“但是,它们具有较大的战术性意义——迫使美国军方和其他有关各方投资研发反无人机系统,并提升防御无人机能力。”
Some militaries and police forces have been developing defences against weaponised commercial drones, including the use of microwaves and netting, while Dutch forces have even begun taking down rogue drones with eagles.
一些军队和警察机关已经在开发防御武装商用无人机的方法,包括用微波探测和张网捕捉。而荷兰警方甚至已经开始用老鹰来击落“流氓”无人机。
Meanwhile, Chinese dronemakers have been in discussions about promoting global standards for the industry.
与此同时,中国的无人机制造商一直在讨论如何推动全球性行业标准。

DJI has taken the lead among Chinese dronemakers since 2013 in installing geofencing — which uses GPS to prevent drones from working in certain parts of the globe. However, experts say the technology is easy to bypass.
2013年,大疆创新科技率先在其无人机上安装地理围栏系统——利用全球定位系统(GPS)防止无人机在某些地理区域内工作,之后其他中国无人机制造商纷纷采取了这项技术。但是,专家指出,绕开这项技术的限制非常容易。
Another security measure would be to require buyers to identify themselves and to require drones to carry UDIMs, SIM card-like devices that are a form of digital licence. Chinese dronemakers are actively promoting this technology through the International Standards Organisation, where a committee is developing a global registry for drone users, Mr Garbett says.
另一个安全措施是要求买家进行身份验证,并要求无人机携带UDIM——类似SIM卡的装置,作为无人机数字证书。中国的无人机制造商正在通过国际标准化组织(International Standards Organization)积极推广这项技术。盖廷格说,该组织的一个委员会正在开发一个全球性的无人机用户登记系统。
couldn’t be tricked or hacked, but one would have to be very determined to do it.”
“中国人在这方面做了大量工作,他们非常希望建立一个能够对无人机用户进行问责的全球标准,”他说,“这并不是说(这种系统)必须无坚不摧,不能被欺骗或被黑客入侵,但必须要下定决心去建立这么一个系统。”
