The March 2017 issue of Wired magazine has an article on Sky Net, which is a company trying to build a defense against "potentially dangerous drones."
"Over five months in late 2015 and early 2016, the FAA reported 582 incidents of a drone getting close to an aircraft or posing a risk of collision." So because we have stupid drone pilots who won't obey the rules, we need Sky Net.
The system uses radar jamming, which of course is a problem if you also wipe out legal stuff going on behind your target. Interesting article.
