A hunter-killer drone with attached net, part of the unmanned aerial system solution developed by the team from Robins Air Force Base, Ga., captures a Phantom 3 drone in mid-flight during the 2016 Air Force Research Laboratory Commanders Challenge at the Nevada National Security Site, Las Vegas, NV., Dec. 13, 2016. Teams were given six months to develop a complete counter-unmanned aerial system to aid in base defense. Robins' system is a multi-layered integrated system which uses a radar and camera system for detection and identification. It also uses a hunter-killer drone for interception and a water cannon for shooting it out of the sky. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wesley Farnsworth)
