Japanese city deploys anti-bear drones as 'human casualties at an all-time high' — non-lethal spray can be delivered with 10cm accuracy radius, 1km range

A Japanese city is implementing anti-bear drones due to a surge in bear encounters, injuries, and deaths. The drones, developed by Terra Drone, can accurately deliver non-lethal spray within a 10cm radius up to 1km away. Factors contributing to the rise in human-bear conflicts include declining hunting licenses and urban encroachment on bear habitats. Terra Drone's drone system aims to provide a safe and effective solution to mitigate bear-related incidents in Japan.
