The SkyWall 100 is a net-launching anti-drone bazooka
It can drop a wayward quadcopter from 100 meters. This shoulder-mounted net launcher weighs 22 pounds and runs on compressed gas but does reportedly offer a 100-meter range with an 8-second reload time. What's more, the system uses a "smart scope" that automatically calculates the drone's distance and vector, informing the operator exactly where to aim.

    Reminds me of Wile E Coyote and the Road Runner.

    Ridiculous.

    I do believe the world has gone mad.

    Luckily I'm probably old enough not to have to witness the coming chaos and mayhem.

    The drone camera can easily spot something as large as the "Skywall".
