Were you aware that the Marine Corps took down some Iranian dones using their MADIS system.

This was a bit novel in that they strapped a wheeled MADIS (an anti-drone "gun" on a humvee chassis more or less) to the deck of a naval ship and used it successfully to take down a potentially hostile drone. I know that the US Marine Corps and US Army take counter-UAV operations very seriously via electro-optical (laser), microwave, and various "other" electronic means to disrupt / destroy drone operations.

The army selected eight systems to fit the bill: https://www.c4isrnet.com/unmanned/2020/06/26/army-selects-ei...
