1km range. Looks like 1.2/1.3ghz long range setups might be out of reach for this product. Won’t kill crossfire but if you are running 5.8 may need a proper failsafe.

Thankfully these are aimed at commercial enterprises, so no-one (or the police) are just going to be roaming the streets and fields with one of these in their backpack. They are probably aimed at airfield management companies and the likes. I can't see there being a huge market for them which probably also means the cost will be prohibitively high for the average Joe, so you would need to have a really good reason to spend the money to buy one.

Very interesting. Wonder how this would play out in the USA   were the FAA has jurisdiction of all airspace; including that above your house or business; no one "owns" airspace.  I have read that it is against the law {I think it is a felony} to intentionally cause an aircraft to crash; any aircraft...even unmanned drones. So, if the craft crashes...they just broke the law.  

With that range, they could take out a drone that might not even be over "their" property {still controlled by FAA, NOT them}.

Of course, if the drone was not legal to begin with, I can't see the owner taking someone to court. On the other hand, if the drone was legit and not actually flying over the "gunner's" property, then that is a different story. 

Here's another thought, other devices might be affected...local wireless networks? wireless security systems? which devices? 

I would seriously doubt that this would really be widely used.       Anyway, it is interesting.

I have just had a look at Drone Defence facebook page and saw this.

Based on that alone, I can't see how they are going to sell any units for a "just in case" scenario, certainly not in the USA or the UK (and probably the EU as well). Airports and other authorities probably already have access to other equipment to deal with such threats.

It may be a felony to shoot down a drone unless you have legal authority to do so.....That is the key.

Yes, the use of the device could affect other devices, or maybe not.  We are just speculating here as we don't have enough info on the device and its capabilities.  A high energy, but narrow beam likely would have limited or no effect on surrounding electronics. 

Like Snow alluded to, this device will be a special use device most likely that hotspots will have it to deal with a problem.  I guarantee you the local, county and state agencies are not going to have special units to respond to drone calls.  Response times to non-emergency calls will make drone enforcement a joke unless you aren't selective where you fly.

Of course I'm talking in the USA.  Other countries, well those citizens likely know how it will play out in their country.

A friend of mine swears his neighbor, and they are very rural, uses something to knock his drones out of the sky. He flies only DJI and DJI type drones and they don't just usually fall out of the sky. I dunno....
