antidrone
AN-tee-drohn
Definition
Relating to technology, systems, or measures designed to detect, track, intercept, or neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles.
Etymology
Formed by combining the prefix 'anti-' (from Greek, meaning against) with 'drone' (a word of Germanic origin referring to a male honeybee, later applied to remote-controlled aircraft due to their buzzing sound). The term gained widespread use as military and civilian needs for countermeasures against small unmanned aerial vehicles increased.
