FAA tests technology to counter rogue drones

Washington (CNN)The Federal Aviation Administration is testing anti-drone technology that would counter rogue drones flying within a five-mile radius of select airports.
The technology is supposed to detect radio signals from rogue drones operating too close to airports.
    FAA Deputy Administrator Michael Whitaker made the announcement at a drone safety hearing before
    the House Transportation Subcommittee on Aviation on Wednesday.
    The FAA is partnering with information technology company CACI International headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
