It's easier and lighter to just use explosively driven shrapnel weapons. Lighter warhead = potential for better range, speed, maneuverability of the intercepting vehicle. If you have even more precise gear, just slamming into the drone with an inert mass works pretty well, but the gold standard for now is a bursting charge with shrapnel.
- dmckeon 2y agoI wonder if some miniature chain shot, made with ~2-3mm split shot fishing weights clamped over 20-30cm of monofilament line, all in a smoothbore shell, would work to entangle drone propellors, and perhaps leave the drone in a reusable state.
