A German company has developed an anti-drone system that captures intruders with a net, avoiding shooting them down with bullets. After repeated incidents at airports, this hunter drone allows investigating the origin of the device and penalizing operators. The technology protects people and property by reducing the risk of explosions or falling fragments.
How the capture system with net works π―
The hunter drone deploys a reinforced nylon net to entangle the invading drone's propellers, immobilizing it without damaging it. Once caught, the system transports it to a safe zone for forensic analysis. The approach avoids the use of projectiles or lasers, minimizing collateral damage. The company assures that the system's precision is high, even in windy conditions.
Caught like a fly, but with more technology πΈοΈ
Now rogue drones lurking around airports will have a more dignified ending than crashing into an airplane. They will be captured as if they were flies in a spider web, but with the difference that no one will applaud them. The owners, on the other hand, will receive a visit from the police instead of a simple warning. At least the net is cheaper than a fine.
