Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for subduing target individuals using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) comprises deploying one or more UAVs to a location of an individual. The method obtains information about the individual from the one or more UAVs and external sources. The method assigns an aggression factor to the individual based on the obtained information. In response to determining that the aggression factor is greater than an aggression threshold, the method prepares a neutralization action designed to reduce the aggression factor of the individual by: identifying one or more exception conditions of the individual, and selecting, from a plurality of neutralization actions that the one or more UAVs are capable of performing, a neutralization action based on the one or more exception conditions. The method then instructs the one or more UAVs to perform the selected neutralization action on the hostile individuals.
