UK defense firm Selex ES on Tuesday unveiled an electromagnetic shield [sputniknews.com] designed to defeat commercial drones.

After three years of development, Selex's Falcon Shield system made its public debut during the Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition in London.

The firm did not explain in great detail the proprietary technology, which was developed with military customers, but said drones can be detected, taken over and then flown to land safely away from the target being protected.

What if you lock the drone's controls upon launch?
