Description
We are a small Estonian project developing a mechanical drone protection network system to protect buildings and people from accidental drone strikes.
Our solution stops or neutralises up to 300 kg of drone before it reaches the building - preventing up to 90% of structural damage.
A patent application has been filed and we now need the resources to engage experts, build the first working prototype and conduct real tests.
I've been following the war in Ukraine for a long time and have seen how drones have changed the battle picture. In the summer of 2025, I went to Ukraine and saw with my own eyes how homes had been hit and destroyed, not by direct attacks, but by drones that had fallen by accident.
These are drones that have been hit by air defences and then crash uncontrolled into urban or residential areas.
From that moment on, a thought began to roll around in my head:
Is it possible to physically protect a building before a drone hits it?
I've developed a drone protection network system that works either automatically or manually in the event of a threat. It creates a temporary safety net around the building, or on the desired sides, which stops the drone or forces it to explode before it hits the structure. The explosion takes place between 8 and 20 metres from the building - resulting in visual damage rather than structural disaster.
The net is mechanical, easy to activate and suitable for residential, industrial or public buildings.
When a drone hits the net, the damage to the building is reduced by up to 90%.
What speaks to me is that, in fact, the ability to protect exists in all of us.
At a reasonable cost, it is possible to create a system that protects everyone's home and life.
A safety net is not a weapon - it is a safety measure that helps prevent accidental tragedies and major accidents.
The aim is that, in the future, such protection systems can be part of the normal urban environment - invisible on a day-to-day basis, but there when you really need them.
Today we have:
- a clear vision and a technical blueprint,
- 3D models and drawings,
- and a patent application filed, giving primary legal protection throughout Europe.
We have discussed the solution with structural engineers and worked out how the safety net will fit into different building types without spoiling the architecture or the cityscape.
The next step is to build a working prototype and test it in a real environment.
To do this, we need funding to cover:
- materials and mechanical components,
- tests,
- the work of engineers and experts,
- and preparing the first demonstrations.
If this phase is successful, we can start product development and certification and bring the safety net to the market.
The team
Estonian inventors with an interest in developing technical systems and mechanical solutions. The idea was born in Ukraine in 2025, when the author saw with his own eyes the consequences of drone strikes on civilian buildings.
Currently, an Estonian civil engineer is involved in the project to help assess the suitability of the system for different buildings and structures. In addition, negotiations are ongoing with various experts, including from the defence industry and customer relations.

We should have started 4 years ago.
Drone warfare is a modern reality and accidental hits can happen in any country.
If we do not develop these solutions before they are really needed, it will be too late.
