Drone detection and interception

A method for disrupting drone attacks, comprising:

• detecting a hostile drone;
• deploying a first defensive drone in response to detection of the hostile drone;
• tracking the hostile drone;
• providing first targeting information to the first defensive drone, the first targeting information configured to control a flight path of the first defensive drone in a manner to intercept the hostile drone or to allow the first defensive drone to target and track the hostile drone;
• intercepting the hostile drone by the first defensive drone;
• detecting control signals associated with the hostile drone;
• deploying a second defensive drone in response to detection of the control signals;
• and
• providing second targeting information to the second defensive drone, the second targeting information configured to control a flight path of the second defensive drone in a manner to fly the second defensive drone to a location associated with the control signals or to allow the second defensive drone to target and track the location associated with the control signals.

A method for disrupting drone attacks, comprising:

• detecting a hostile drone and control signals associated with the hostile drone;
• deploying a hardened interceptor drone in response to detection of the hostile drone;
• tracking the hostile drone;
• providing first targeting information to the hardened interceptor drone, the first targeting information configured to control a flight path of the hardened interceptor drone in a manner to intercept the hostile drone or to allow the hardened interceptor drone to target and track the hostile drone;
• intercepting and colliding with the hostile drone by the hardened interceptor drone;
• determining whether the hostile drone has been knocked out of the air;
• repeating intercepting and colliding with the hostile drone by the hardened interceptor drone and determining whether the hostile drone has been knocked out of the air, until the hostile drone has been knocked out of the air;
• deploying, concurrent with deployment of the hardened interceptor drone, a controller interceptor drone in response to detection of the control signals;
• and
• providing second targeting information to the controller interceptor drone, the second targeting information configured to control a flight path of the controller interceptor drone in a manner to fly the controller interceptor drone to a location associated with the control signals.
