How does counter-drone tech work?

Counter-drone systems aim to detect, track, and neutralise unwanted drones. This can involve radar, acoustic sensors, or even trained birds of prey. Our story mentions the UK government investing £750m in these systems, which might include jammers to disrupt drone signals or nets to physically capture them, protecting sensitive sites.
