Drone Band is showcasing its novel drone capture device to the public for the first time at ISE 2025: the Crown™. This 3D-printed, ultralight system is designed to redefine counter-drone strategy for small and medium multi-rotor threats. Unlike destructive methods that risk collateral damage or the loss of critical evidence, the Crown™ employs a purely physical, patent-pending mechanism to intercept drones mid-flight without the use of propellants or pyrotechnics. Captured drones are recovered safely under parachute control, making them available for forensic investigation and operator identification.

Engineered to neutralize multi-rotor drones up to 7 kg, the Crown™ covers the full spectrum of common threats, from consumer drones like the DJI Mavic and Air series to professional platforms such as the Matrice line and heavy custom FPV builds. Lightweight, reusable, and versatile, it has been tested extensively with drone pilots in realistic scenarios to ensure reliability and safety.

With a combined weight of only around 500 g in its lightest configuration, including carrier (C1 rated), Crown™, and parachute, the system is ideally suited for deployment in urban or sensitive environments. Its ultralight design minimizes the risk of collateral damage, allowing security teams to safely intercept drones even in crowded areas or near critical infrastructure.

As a fully physical solution, the Crown™ provides operators with complete control, unaffected by software updates or remote disabling methods that can compromise electronic counter-drone systems. Future-proof by design, it remains effective as AI-driven autonomy and alternative control methods increasingly render RF-based countermeasures unreliable.

The Crown™: safe, cost effective, and practical.
