Identifying, tracking, and disrupting unmanned aerial vehicles

This is a handheld device that can stop drones. It works by aiming a directional antenna at a drone and sending out electronic signals that disrupt its operation. The device includes a small computer that can connect to a central system, possibly using a cell signal, to share its own status and get software updates.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread cellular IoT and cloud-based device management matured. The claims emphasize remote firmware updates, which is now easier to implement and crucial for adapting to rapidly evolving drone technology.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom electronics, cellular modem, firmware
