Drone security

DroneShield's newly announced DroneGun MkIII uses the same frequency-jamming tactics as the company's other offerings, but is designed to work in a tighter radius with one-handed operation for a quick and easy draw.

​We've seen portable drone-jamming devices before, although they tend to take the form of big guns that would be a hassle to carry for long distances. The new clip-on Pitbull, however, is designed to be worn by dismounted soldiers for hours at a time.

There are various places where people aren't allowed to fly consumer drones. If someone does so anyway, it's always possible to shoot the thing down or remotely disable it. Another option, however, is to net it in mid-air, using the new-and-improved DroneCatcher.

Drones are increasingly crowding the airspace, so it’s only natural that the counter-drone market is growing too. The wide arsenal from DroneShield just got a little wider with the DroneGun Tactical, a new handheld jamming weapon that disrupts more frequencies from a smaller, more portable package.

Surveillance drones and security robots are not new innovations on their own, but Singapore company Otsaw Digital has brought the two together. The O-R3 is the world's first ground-aerial outdoor security robot that combines an autonomous roving ground vehicle with a surveillance drone.

As more reports emerge of terorists using weaponized consumer drones to strike allied forces, one unnamed Middle Eastern government is bringing in a high-tech solution, the long-range Dronegun that can ground unmanned aircraft from kilometers away.

If you don't have access to a flock of drone-hunting eagles, a new weapon could be the next-best option, with the ability to ground unmanned aircraft from up to 1.3 mi (2 km) away. ​
