Anchored aerial countermeasures for rapid deployment and neutralizing of target aerial vehicles

This invention describes a system where multiple drones work together to catch another flying object. A detection system spots the target, then guides the drones, which are tethered together by a net, to fly towards it. The drones then use this net to capture and stop the target aerial vehicle.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in AI-driven real-time object tracking and multi-UAV swarm control algorithms have made the complex coordinated interception more feasible. However, the regulatory landscape for autonomous aerial interception remains a significant hurdle.
