The technology to take over control of the majority of drones and "hijack" it or just crash it has been around for years. Its relatively inexpensive all you need is the incentive to buy it and someone trained to operate it.
Maybe Gatwick will consider it now, maybe others will learn from their experience and do likewise. There again maybe not.
My assumption was that while they allowed the disruption to continue they at least had a chance to catch the perpetrator?
Like Alistair I have seen both Dedrone and many other similar technologies. Without using such technologies the police can only really look for someone operating the drone either by remote or mobile phone. The odds on them getting lucky are slim as indicated by the length of time Gatwick has been closed.
No one wants to spend money on technology until something like this happens and then someone higher up the food chain looks at the media coverage and the financial losses then asks why they don’t already have it.
