DroneHunter at United States

Fortem Technologies DroneHunter is an autonomous counter-UAS interceptor drone manufactured by the Utah-based company Fortem Technologies. The system autonomously detects, tracks, and intercepts hostile unmanned aerial vehicles by deploying a tethered net to physically capture the target without kinetic force, guided by cues from Fortem's TrueView radar. The F700 variant is deployed by military and critical infrastructure operators globally for airspace protection.
