Blunt force Perhaps the most obvious and most low-tech solution on the UAS mitigation market is to knock the drone out of the air with another object. Department 13’s MESMER – which competed in last year’s MITRE Counter-UAS challenge – actively hacks the connection between the pilot and the drone by manipulating the radio communication protocol. The operator can then force the drone to land or return home. Directional RF interference Higher-grade, large-scale options are now being marketed for the rigours of military use in the form of multi-tiered, radar-based systems.

Note, this article is from 08/2017. The current state of defense against drones is probably more capable than what is shown here.
Drones don’t have to be allowed in restricted airspace.
How about helicopters with steel nets between them
How about helicopters using their rotors to blow them out of the sky?
ground forces with shotguns...?
Judging by the recent string of drone incursions over our air bases, and thumbs-up-the-ass responses offered, no it isn't.
what if we teach birds to attack them?
marbles, a tube and compressed air
Isn’t it odd that these occurrence are simultaneously taking place across the globe? Odd isn’t it that the ‘drone’ bug has gone viral and international and just at military installations. Aren’t the world militaries the ones hiding the UFO story? It reminds me of world wide crop circles and likely there is a connection. Do you suppose there is a message/communication in there somewhere?
AKA “jamming.”
The best ways to defeat drones is by identifying manufacturing facilities, transportation means, operator centers and drone airfields, then make them primary targets. Routine intelligence work should be able provide coordinates.
You don’t want that happening to your rotors.
Directional emp gun. Zap the buggers.
By doctrine, half of all artillery fire is counter-battery. Which means your artillery is shooting at theirs. So it’s not that much a stretch to imagine half of all your drones should be anti-drone drones.
There are several different counter methods depending on the type of drone to be countered. When you put kamikaze drones into the mix, I would offer up a counter-drone drone. One with a multiple kill per flight capability and reusability.
I'll offer a swarm of ultra-cheap decoy drones and a couple smart drones with the explosive payloads.
What kind of drones? Military drones? Or $30 Walmart toys?
Yesterday at about noon a neighbor was flying a small drone.
It was noisy.
