Is This The Military Technology Used To Defeat The Gatwick Drone?
The mystery behind the 'drone incident' that paralyzed air traffic at Sussex's Gatwick airport for 36 hours this week - interrupting the holiday travel plans of some 140,000 people and cancelling more than 1,000 flights - is getting more bizarre by the day. After police revealed they had arrested two individuals - a middle-aged man and woman from Crawley - on Friday night - both suspects have reportedly been cleared of their involvement in the crime and released, according to the BBC.
Police are now continuing their search for the mysterious pilot who disrupted plane traffic by flying drones over the Gatwick runway, piloting them within feet of a control tower and even flashing lights at police who had gathered at the scene in what appeared to be a taunting. One detective who has been assigned to the case told reporters that police had recovered a damaged drone near the airport. Investigators will be working with "the forensic opportunities that the drone presents."
"Our inquiry continues at a pace to locate those responsible for the drone incursions, and we continue to actively follow lines of investigation," the detective said.
Gatwick is offering a 50,000 pound ($63,000) reward via the UK's Crimestoppers for any information that might lead to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for piloting the drones. The culprit will ultimately face up to 5 years in prison if found and convicted.
Meanwhile, the army and police have released few details about the techniques they used to resolve the drone issue. But after photographs of three unidentified devices spotted on the airport's roof surfaced in the media...
...some experts are beginning to develop theories about what the devices are and how they were used.
Many have suggested that the Israeli-developed "Drone Dome" was used to jam communications and down the drone, according to the BBC.
It is believed that the Israeli-developed Drone Dome system,which can jam communications between the drone and its operator, was used.However, experts have said it does not enable the person responsible to be tracked down and captured.
