Aveillant Limited, a Thales Company, and Robin Radar announced that their anti-drone systems have been deployed at Heathrow as part of the airport’s bespoke set of end-to-end counter-drone measures provided by Operational Solutions Ltd. The counter-drone system solution comprises a variety of different counter-drone technologies from different companies.
This bespoke counter-drone system, which was specifically designed for Heathrow, works by detecting and tracking drones in surrounding airspace and alerting airports of unauthorised drone use. The system also works to locate the drone pilots themselves and can be used to identify their location.
