Hardly a new idea
The trick is making it work at scale on the battlefield.
Oh absolutely, I think the point of that talk was that none of the solutions really scale very well (trained eagles? really?).
Radio interference works great, but can disrupt your own comms, and now a lot of the drones over there are using fiber optic cables for in-flight control to avoid interference.
Net guns are not a scalable solution because they'll always be range and accuracy limited, plus you can protect a drone from nets with a cope cage as demonstrated in the video.
