Systems and methods for countering an unmanned air vehicle

This invention describes a system designed to stop unwanted drones. It works by first spotting a target drone with a ground-based sensor, then launching a special interceptor drone in response. This interceptor drone then tracks the target and, once close enough, releases a net to disable it, using propellers for its own movement.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in drone autonomy, miniaturized sensors, and AI-driven object tracking have significantly improved. These developments make the complex task of an interceptor UAV autonomously detecting, tracking, and disabling a target UAV more practical and efficient today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
