COUNTER UAS “DroneBullet” takes down Unwelcome UAVs

AerialX, a six-year-old company based in Vancouver, British Columbia offers a patent-pending solution for ridding the sky of hostile UAVs when the need to act is urgent. As reported at MilitaryAerospace.com, the 910-gram DroneBullet is a highly maneuverable quadcopter multirotor with a 4-kilometer range and a speed approaching 220mph in a dive attack.  DroneBullet approaches and then locks onto the target drone, then uses its own kinetic energy to knock it out of the sky by ramming it.
