someone in the UAV industry please invent the DCD (drone catcher drone). follow the target long enough to be properly positionned, and deploy the lasso attached to a small parachute so the intelligence value of the device can be extracted afterwards, on the ground. The trick is to give just the right slant to the lasso, to grab the mid-section of the ship in diagonal, so the parachute is secure.
Robotics have reached the point where this is quite feasible.
