Cops enlist eagles to hunt down rogue drones - CNET

The victim drone is a T2M Spyrit quadrocopter, which is similar in size to the popular DJI Phantom series. There could be some challenges with using birds to catch drones. Larger drones might present difficulties and the trainers need to consider the bird's safety, such as protecting their feet from the rotors. The drone used in the video seems to present no problems to the flying hunter.

The trained birds come from a Dutch company called Guard From Above, which describes the idea as "a low-tech solution for a high-tech problem." Though a bald eagle features prominently in the company's advertising, Guard From Above says it uses "different kinds and sizes of birds of prey." Just don't expect them to press hummingbirds into service.

The drone-hunting bird program seems to be in the exploratory phase for the Dutch police. IEEE Spectrum reports the tests will last for a few months, at which time the experiments will be evaluated for effectiveness and a decision will be made on whether or not to deputize the birds of prey for real-life drone duty.
