Abstract: An aerial drone is configured to capture aerial objects. The aerial drone has an airframe, a propulsion system mounted to the airframe, and a capturing device mounted to the airframe. The propulsion system is configured to control the movement of the aerial drone. The capturing device is configured to receive and capture an aerial object located above the aerial drone. A method of capturing an aerial object using the aerial drone is also contemplated.
