The pie is probably bigger for a number of competing technologies I'd think. I'd also think with jamming software like droneshield there would need to be a lot of continued R&D. That's a positive if it leads to subscription revenue.

However, to answer your question I was under the impression it just jammed the signal forcing the drone to either fall out of the sky or return to the operator.

I don't think the guns let you take control of the drone. I could be wrong however, posted it just to show the US is funding a lot of different technologies in the space - the article mentions some others too.

Agreed. Oleg has always described radio frequency jamming which results in either the drone landing or returning to operator (I think depending on how the drone has been programmed rather than on a dronshield dependent factor)

@GazD @Mujo - thanks for the clarification. Returning or landing, rather than blowing the thing up, was what I remembered taking in re Droneshield's system. And yes, it seems DRO's system will require constant upgrades/refinements to protect their jamming capabilities, which from a long term financial point of view might not be a bad thing.

This my speculation, but assuming there needs to be a detonation trigger then as long as the bullet itself doesn't cause the munition to explode (it shouldn't as its just metal and depending on the explosive) then shooting it down should be similar to it just landing in place.
