The U.S. is apparently using anti-drone rifles against the Islamic State

We have some cool stuff. It's amazing that in such a small time frame, we've managed to make this technology accessible to a squad sized mobile element.

"The rifle is a 'non-kinetic' weapon, meaning it doesn’t use bullets....The system has the ability to disrupt the user’s control link to their drone as well as its ability to sync with a GPS network. It is unclear what type of frequency the rifle uses to attack its target, but the size of the dual front-mounted antennas suggest that the disruption pulse is distributed across multiple radio frequency bands. The rifle has a range of roughly 400 yards, will hit a drone in a 30-degree cone and can be ready to use and fire in less than a second, according to the site. Aside from the antennas and the attached battery pack, the anti-drone rifle appears to be very similar to the M-16/M-4 series of rifles carried by U.S. troops, including a similar stock and attachment system for accessories such as scopes and flashlights."
