Researchers at IIT Madras have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drone that can counter ‘Rogue Drones.’

This system can help law enforcement agencies, security services and armed forces secure airspace over critical civilian and military installations from surveillance by rogue drones. 

The drone can track down rogue drones visually and hack into their GPS navigation system, following which the target drone is forced to change its flight path or land safely.

According to IIT, a major advantage of this system is that it can be controlled over the Internet and can navigate autonomously as compared to most existing drones that
