These technologies include everything from nets and birds of prey to non-kinetic jamming and disruption of radio control frequencies.

Drones might seem fun and cool to play with but in military uses they can be quite dangerous. Whether they are used to spy on foreign actors or even shoot at them, sometimes there is a need to destroy them. That's where anti-drone technology comes into play.

Anti-drone systems are built with the purpose of tracking and destroying rogue drones. They bring together science, technology, and engineering to create counter-drone and drone defense measures that produce real and actionable results. 

These technologies include everything from nets to birds of prey to non-kinetic jamming to the disruption of radio control frequencies. These anti-drone technologies usually either force the drone to land so it can be captured, force it to return back to where it came from, or destroy it all together.
