I used to be into Drones in a fair way ( somewhat lost interest at the start of this year ) they ticked the box for the geek side of me
This has been a issue that has been coming for a while, DJI ( one of the biggest drone makers ) have even added a Geo no fly zone to stop this, but of course it can be hacked to turn it off
So we can have top end drones hacked to overcome the GeoNFZ, or of course we can just build our own out of parts which wouldnt have the geo hfz
SO the shooting it down idea, they did in the USA a while back, but the airport was out of the way, Gatwick is in a built up area, the drone doesnt need to be flying over the runway, just in the flight path, so thats a no go, you couldnt have a drone falling out of the sky in a built up area
The drone pilot / operator could be driving around in a van and the drone will return to the controller, the person, could put it in the back of the van, change the batteries and drive to the next industrial estate and take-off again
The US have also used another drone to " net " the rouge drone, of course this will cause it to fall out of the sky ( unless the other drone could stop that ? ? ? ? )
Of course then you could attach a bomb to it, fly it over something and detonate, the consequences would catastrophic
I can only see the answer to fly a Real helicopter over it ( above it ) net it with the net attached to a line from the real helicopter, now I am not sure why this hasnt happened, the airport it closed, so no air traffic
i was wondering if one could fly to an area with a gun loaded and firing should be banned for casual personal use , one lady spoke of her children were in their back garden in the swim gear with a drone above them ??????????
Use only for official use rescue /traffic /police matters etc .
Some peoples holiday's of am,lifetime could have been destroyed ,kids going to Lapland ,if caught the culprits they may get five years out in one ,courtesy of the taxpayer, aaargh .
You can bring these down I've the police do it ??
Surely a shotgun cartridge would do the job and less danger to the public.
Incredible it can go on so long and they have not apprehended them.
Yes, as surely people would spot a drone landing time and time again and report it
of course it could be a few who are doing it
though i am not expert, though it appears no-one is, i saw a news report this morning and the guy giving the interview was a guy i know online, not sure he knows anymore than myself
Why don't the airport authorities use drones to bring down the drone? Either fly into it or it it tries to escape follow it and find out where it goes.
simples.
Someone knows who is doing this.
Offer a no questions asked reward of 100,000 ffs to anyone who can grass them up
It's looking more and more embarrassing as time goes on.
Has anyone actually seen it? I can't believe there is not one mobile device footage anywhere on the net. Funny that this event has taken up all the news coverage for the day.
Not a mention of the Government passing an £85m cut to Public Health on the last day before Parliamentary recess.
