Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Airspace Drone Takes Down Other Unwanted Drones

— October 17, 2016 — Tech
Drones have developed faster than the technology in place to monitor them, making sure that they don't fly over locations they shouldn't, so the Airspace drone is a way to take control of unwanted or illegal drone flights with a more aggressive approach. Rather than implementing software to override the drone in question -- or some other similar behind-the-scenes system -- the Airspace drone is a powerful machine that ensnares smaller drones in a net and carries them away.

The Airspace drone can be controlled via a smartphone app that lets its user control which drones it targets, but it can also be sent out as a sentinel to target any drones in a given area. By catching those targets in a net and carrying them to safety, the Airspace drone removes the dangers of drones falling from the sky.
Trend Themes
1. Drone Interception - The trend of using drones to actively intercept and capture unwanted or illegal drones, like the Airspace drone, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in drone security systems.
2. Remote Drone Control - The trend of controlling drones through smartphone apps, such as the Airspace drone, opens up opportunities for remote operation and management of drones in various industries.
3. Drones for Safety - The trend of using drones to remove dangers and ensure safety, exemplified by the Airspace drone's ability to catch and carry away unwanted drones, creates opportunities for improved security measures.
Industry Implications
1. Drone Security - The drone security industry can leverage the disruptive innovation of drone interception to develop advanced systems for protecting airspace and preventing unauthorized drone flights.
2. Mobile App Development - The mobile app development industry can tap into the trend of remote drone control, like the Airspace drone's smartphone app, to create innovative apps that enhance drone operation and management.
3. Safety and Security Services - The safety and security services industry can explore the use of drones for safety purposes, such as the Airspace drone's capability to remove dangers, to provide improved security measures in various settings.
