Yes, a while back I was just researching this.

I currently use two main approaches that I’ve found to accomplish this.

One is a potent laser installed on a vehicle that is being developed or tested by many military forces worldwide. This is supposed to be used as an anti-UAV tool. A version of this gadget being tested by the U.S. Air Force is supplied by Raytheon. I understand that the goal is to take down the drone with a gunshot. Since large military drones like the Reaper are capable of independent flight, their mission may not be terminated by simply cutting the control link with a jammer.
