Drone interceptor with a net gun
This drone interceptor is designed to catch light UAVs. High
power-to-weight ratio is a competitive advantage of this concept. It
allows the drone to fly fast. Before an attack, the target can be
circumflown for identification. Drone rotors are used to spread the
net. High-energy rotors allow the use of a larger net. At the moment
of attack, the rotors accelerate and detach from the frame. At the
same time, the net fastening straps are released. The Kevlar net
blocks the target's rotors and disrupts the glider control. After an
attack, the interceptor descends using a parachute and emits a sound
signal. The interceptor can be reused. The interceptor does not
contain any prohibited components. Racing drone components were used.
The interceptor is launched from the container. Several containers
with interceptors can be placed on a patrol car. A racing pilot can
single-handedly operate the complex.
