Drones bring many new opportunities and can be a lot of fun to use. However, they can also be pesky and even dangerous. As some companies turn to drones to drive innovation, other companies are driving innovation in developing new ways to take drones out of the sky. Thousands of new drone users are registering every day in China, and one company called Bei Dou Open Lab has developed a new drone gun to deal with flying menaces. As China increases restrictions on unauthorised drone flights over public safety fears, Bei Dou Open Lab showcased their innovative counter drone technology to crack down illegal drone flights. The new anti-drone system is powered by smartphones and can be safely used at large, public gatherings. It tracks down drones with a simulated GPS signal and guides them safely to the ground.
