The invention is a device that when fitted to an aircraft (1) projects a signal before the aircraft on a frequency or a range of frequencies used for recreational unmanned flying vehicles or drones (3). The projection angle and strength of the signal from the aircraft would vary depending on each aircraft type and size and would temporarily override any control of any drone that flew into the signal area (2). Depending on the proximity of the drone to the aircraft, the signal would tell the drone to ascend or descend (3) allowing the aircraft to pass safely thereby avoiding the risk of collision. Figure 1
