Gatwick Airport’s operations had been disrupted for two days in a row due to small drones flying over its territory. Although the intentions of the perpetrators, who controlled them, remain unknown, police have suggested it was not terror-related.
UK authorities could use an Israeli-made « Drone Dome » system that the British army acquired in August 2018 to take down the drones, which had been disrupting Gatwick Airport’s operations for the last two days. The equipment, seen on the rooftop of a building near the airport and operated by the UK police looks just like the « Drone Dome » components in the photos, published in 2016 by several media platforms.
