The present application relates to a method and a system for intercepting and controlling target-drones (2), allowing to control the target-drone's flight route (4), causing it to land in a predetermined landing position. For that purpose, the method of the invention provides the configuration of flight routes (4) for controlling the target-drone's flight path in order to direct it to the landing position, without causing any physical damage to the target-drone (1). This control is achieved by using police-drones (1) which are adapted to transmit redirection signals (3) used as a way to program a new flight route (4) for the at least one target-drone (2) to a landing position.
