While the US military continues to build drones the US company Battelle has developed a shoulder-mounted rifle named DroneDefender to deal with unwanted unmanned aerial vehicles or drones flying around.

The gun DroneDefender looks like a hodgepodge of science fiction props strapped together. Despite its appearance, it’s not made to fire any projectile. Instead, the DroneDefender works by jamming the communications of commercial drones, causing them to lose control and, ideally, land.

DroneDefender gun emits radio pulses that interrupt the communications system of the UAV and makes it think that it gone out of range, thereby preventing the drone from accepting any additional commands from its operator.
