Intercept. Secure. Return.
An ETH Zürich Focus Project
More drones in the sky.
No safe way to stop the wrong one.
Consumer drones are cheap, fast and everywhere. When one ends up where it shouldn’t be, shooting it down puts the people below at risk. CATCHY hunts it down autonomously, secures it onboard, and flies it back to a ground station intact.
02 /
Nothing falls.
The target is captured and held onboard, so there’s no debris, no wreckage, and no risk to anyone underneath.
03 /
Mission after mission.
After it drops off the target, CATCHY is ready for another flight.
