Predator-prey interactions in nature can be studied, and the predator and anti-predator mechanisms that animals use can be categorized. From the various mechanisms used in nature, several conceptual predator and anti-predator mechanisms can be investigated and created for UAV usage. Bio-inspired mechanisms show promise because they can be used practically on small UAVs, and many of the mechanisms can be used practically in urban environments.
