People could use it to disable hobbyists' drones but Liteye's Anti-UAV Defense System has practical applications for law enforcement and government too
A team of British technology firms has developed a "death ray" for drones that can knock an unmanned aerial vehicle out of the sky by turning it off in midair up to a mile away.
"If I can see it, I can kill it," said Rick Sondag, executive vice-president of Liteye Systems, which sells the device, at the Commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Expo in Las Vegas this week.
