The weirdest aspect of this is the delay in setting it up because of the fear that the owner of a downed drone would sue the DAA or Dept of Transport. Like if they want to declare in court that they knowingly flew their drone over Dublin Airport, let them. I don’t see why a case couldn’t be made for downing the drone in the interests of public safety.
At last they found a family member who has created an anti drone company … or outsourcing to friend of a family
You mean they didn’t already have this?
What a joke. Build infrastructure and put zero into protecting it. Typical.
Tell me its a brick on a medieval catapult
So consultation is on the way I can bet 50 quit someone going to make a lots of money to be advising company 🤑
I thought the exclusion zone was built into the drone’s software, and it cant fly anywhere near it.
This should have happened after the 1st drone incident. I’m surprised they have waited that long, what they were hoping it’s going to happen?
Anti drone technology sales man flying his drone in the airport.
Do you remember what happened in the UK? Airports shut down, no drone was every ever found even though so the news teams in the UK were watching the airports to get pictures and videos.
Did anyone produce a video or picture of the drone over Dublin airport?
If not, then buying anti drone tech is a waste of taxpayers money.
All the best drones are made in China. All the best anti-drone tech is made in China. The EU has a bee in their bonnet at the moment about Chinese technology. The delay is likely due to trying to source tech as good as the Chinese tech from somewhere other than China.
A set of basic dumb radio jammers would cause any drones to lose signal and return to base. Instead of buying foreign tech, they should have got the universities to cobble something together.
I bet it’s the people who don’t like that new runway…..
Who needs drones at all? Why are they being flown? It can only be for leisure or some type of peeping activity – I know whereof I speak with a neighbour flying a drone at bedroom window level.
Anything for training a hawk or falcon to take them down, or would the propellers of the drone injure the bird?
The easiest solution would literally be a man with a shotgun.

About time.
Can they not shoot the things down?
