Unmanned aerial vehicle with rotatable net assembly

A method of intercepting a target drone with a counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) drone comprising:

• piloting the C-UAV drone with a net assembly towards the target drone;
• rotating the net assembly with respect to the C-UAV drone to align the net assembly with the target drone while the C-UAV is flying towards the target drone;
• and
• intercepting the target drone with the net assembly.

A Counter-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (C-UAV) quadcopter comprising:

• a quadcopter chassis extending along a plane, the quadcopter chassis having a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, and a fourth arm forming an X-shape in cross section along the plane;
• a first motor, a second motor, a third motor, and a fourth motor respectively attached to the first, second, third, and fourth arms of the quadcopter chassis;
• a first propeller, a second propeller, a third propeller, and a fourth propeller coupled to the respective first, second, third, and fourth motors;
• a net assembly rotatably attached to ends of the first and second arms of the quadcopter chassis;
• and
• a motor attached to the quadcopter chassis, the motor coupled to the net assembly to rotate the net assembly with respect to the plane of the quadcopter chassis.
