New Drone Interceptor Fires Thin Chains to Bring Down UAVs in Seconds

New drone interceptor fires thin chains to bring down UAVs in seconds

Researchers in Germany have developed a new drone interceptor that uses thin metal chains to disable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) midair by tangling their spinning rotors. The concept was made by scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). It adapts the physics behind the traditional South American bola weapon into a modern drone defense technology designed for short-range interception. The system works by firing lightweight, t…
