Counter-UAS Technology Compared: Kinetic, RF Jamming, High-Power Microwave, Laser, and Net Interceptors
A side-by-side comparison of the five ways drones are actually defeated today — kinetic interceptors, RF/GPS jamming, high-power microwave, directed-energy lasers, and net-capture systems — with range, cost per engagement, tradeoffs, and who's legally allowed to use each under SAFER SKIES.

DroneShield's Q3 Software Leap Lands as Pentagon Counter-Drone Spending Pipeline Swells
DroneShield sharpened its RF detection and tracking software on July 6 just as the Pentagon handed AeroVironment a potential $500 million counter-drone contract, underscoring a red-hot C-UAS market racing to outpace cheaper, faster drone threats.

Fortem DroneHunter F700: The Autonomous Net-Catcher Closing the Jammer Gap
Fortem's DroneHunter F700 autonomously pursues hostile drones, fires tethered nets to capture them in flight, and tows the platform to a forensics zone — no explosives, no jamming. With 4,500+ captures, a Replicator 2 contract, and $25M from Lockheed Martin, it is the Pentagon's answer to GPS-waypoint threats that jammers cannot touch.

Net Capture Systems: The Case for Catching Drones Instead of Destroying Them
Kinetic destruction and RF jamming both carry unacceptable collateral risks in civilian airspace. A new generation of net-capture systems — compressed-air launchers and autonomous interceptor hexacopters — offers a low-debris, forensics-preserving alternative built for populated environments.

Layered Counter-UAS Defense: How the Kill Chain Actually Works
From Langley's 17 nights of unidentified drones to the Navy's billion-dollar Red Sea munitions bill, the pressure to build coherent counter-drone architecture has never been higher. Here is how the layers — detect, identify, decide, defeat — actually work, what each one costs, and why none of them works alone.
