Airports face incidents with unauthorized drones that threaten flight safety and reputation. Disruption or shooting down carries the risk of the drone falling and damaging people or property. A solution is needed that reliably detects, tracks, and non-destructively neutralizes targets within the protective perimeter while meeting strict regulations.
