Abstract
Systems and methods for countering an unmanned air vehicle are disclosed. An example method includes detecting a target UAV via a first component of a target acquisition system. The example method further includes, in response to detecting the target UAV, directing, by executing one or more computer-readable instructions of a launch control system in communication with the target acquisition system, an interceptor UAV to launch. The example method further includes, subsequent to the launch, tracking the target UAV via a second component of the target acquisition system, the second component carried by the interceptor UAV. The example method further includes, when the target UAV is within a target range of the interceptor UAV, deploying a disabling element from the interceptor UAV toward the target UAV.
