Drone counter-measures in the works – update
DroneDefender from Battelle

Drones pose a number of threats. Fortunately, counter measures are in development.
DroneDefender, shown above, has two emitter aerials, one of which can transmit signals to disrupt control signals from the operator. The second aerial can transmit signals to disrupt GPS or GLONASS for drones in self-navigation mode.
Dronebuster operates similarly, but has the advantage of being smaller & lighter than DroneDefender, which can weigh up to 15 pounds (6.8 kilogrammes).
