A re-usable intercept drone 104 comprises an elongate fuselage 200 having first and second wings 202 & 206 operably coupled thereto. First and second propulsion units 210 & 212 are operably coupled to the wings. Third and fourth propulsion units 214 & 218 are operably coupled to the fuselage. The propulsion units 210, 212, 214, 218 being circumferentially spaced about the elongate fuselage 200. The drone 104, may have a reinforced ram 238, preferably of aluminium or a titanium coating, as part of the nose cone. The drone 104 may have sensors to detect damage sustained as a result of a collision. The drone engagement system has a control system that identifies a target (106, fig 1) and attempts to collide at least one re-useable intercept drone 104 with the target. The control system may be ground based or peer-to-peer.
