One of the complications with any take-down technology is that we have to be careful to ensure that it does not interfere with other aviation communications technology in the airport. It is a very sensitive site so nothing should be deployed unless you are absolutely sure that it will not interfere with any of the other communications systems in operation. Some of the physical means of taking down drones come with their own risks. That is why consideration of the best way to take down drones is a military issue.
