MoD offshoot names winners who dipped into £2m anti-drone ideas pot o' gold
The British government has funded 18 anti-drone projects as part of its £2m push to stop a repeat of the Gatwick drone fiasco of 2018 – including a friendly drone swarm that will employ "peregrine falcon attack strategies" to down errant unmanned flying things.
Among the ideas that have scooped up to £800,000 each in funding for further development are plans to use machine learning to train cameras and other sensors on what a small drone looks like to aid early detection, as well as direction-finding of 4G and 5G-controlled drones.
In addition, one plan includes "low risk methods of stopping drones through novel electronic defeat or interceptor solutions". That is, jamming a rogue drone or flinging something into it to kn ..
