Drone security

​​​Drones can go just about anywhere – which is a problem for airports and government facilities. Two new systems, soon to launch in the US, might offer more permanent protection. DroneSentinel will detect unauthorized UAVs and, if local laws allow, DroneSentry will jam their signals to ground them.

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.

Scheduled for December this year, DroneClash is a drone dogfighting event organized by Delft University that pits pilots against one another not to be the first across a finish line, but to take down as many drones as possible in the name of safety.​​

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. ​
