Deliberate interference by drones caused Britain's Gatwick Airport to close London Sky in a hurry to introduce a chaos slamming system.

Transfer to airports in Paris and Amsterdam

[starting from London] at London Gatwick Airport, the second busiest airport after London Heathrow Airport in the UK, two drones (drones) were seen flying over the border fence and the runway closed at 9 p.m. on the 19th.

Although the runway reopened at more than 3 am on the 20th, the drone was spotted again 45 minutes later, so it was closed again. Local police believe that this is not a terrorist attack, but deliberate interference, is searching for the operator of the drone. In order to avoid the involvement of stray bullets, the method of shooting down drones can not be used.

According to the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation, 10, 000 people were affected on the 19th alone, and a total of 110000 people took off and landed from Gatwick Airport on the 20th, causing chaos in the sky in London.

The planes originally planned to land at the airport were transferred to airports in Paris and Amsterdam in addition to Heathrow Airport, London Luton Airport and Birmingham Airport.

The affected passengers will sleep on the airport floor or be trapped in the cabin without even eating, have to pay high taxi fares and get angry.

Take a look at the report of the British Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) "abnormal proximity investigation Committee (UK Airprox Board)". There has been a sharp increase in the number of drone and passenger plane Niamis accidents that were zero for three consecutive years until 2013, reaching 120 this year. Fourteen years later, the number of reports of "risk A" with the risk of conflict actually reached 97.

Because the drones are too small, the current use of air traffic control radar is very difficult to detect, to prevent intrusion within the airport boundary is very difficult.

If the drone crashes into the passenger plane's engine or the window of the driver's seat, it may cause a major accident. There is also a risk that lithium batteries used by drones will catch fire due to collision.

A targeted nuclear power plant

In January 15, a Chinese-made Mirage II crashed on the White House lawn. At night in February, drones flew over the Elysee Palace in Paris, the US Embassy in France, the Eiffel Tower, the Anwaleed military Museum and the main road.

After the White House crash, Chinese manufacturers took steps to link the hardware software no-fly zone with Washington and satellite positioning systems (GPS) to make drones inaccessible.

From the beginning of October to the end of November, France has confirmed that drones are flying over 13 of the 19 nuclear power plants. The drone invasion was targeted at night and was carefully planned.

Through the reconnaissance of drones in the nuclear power plant, photos and videos can be taken and information on preparing for terrorist activities can be collected. In order to support terrorist forces invading nuclear power facilities from high altitude, they can also carry weapons and drop bombs on power and communication networks.

It is also possible to consider dropping bombs into spent nuclear fuel repositories that are more vulnerable than reactor buildings.

Most drones are less than 50 centimeters, with a maximum of 2 meters. This size is usually difficult to detect by radar, and in fact, at French nuclear power plants, security guards use the naked eye to identify drone intrusions. The French military has deployed a radar at the nuclear power plant that can be identified with small flying objects such as drones.

Once a drone is found, it will be allowed to shoot down, but it requires very high shooting skills. In addition, drones cannot be shot down while flying over nuclear power facilities. Because the crash could increase the damage.

The method of sending out interfering radio waves to steer the drone in the wrong direction is in danger of misleading the reactor.

The most effective way to prevent terrorist attacks by drones targeting nuclear power plants and government central agencies is now to detect drone intrusions early on high-performance radars that can also be detected by small flying objects, skip intercepting drones for tracking, drop capture ropes from above and wind down propellers.

The penalty of five years' imprisonment in the UK

Niamis of drones and passenger planes have also appeared in the United States and France, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has introduced a registration system for drones of more than 250g and less than 25km. You must be at least 13 years old to own a drone, and you need $5 as a registration fee.

In the UK, it is prohibited to fly drones around airports that may collide with passenger planes or cause Niamis. Those who fly drones within 1km of the airport will be sentenced to up to five years in prison.

Flying is also prohibited where the drone disappears from the pilot's view at a distance of more than 500 meters (horizontal distance) and above the vertical distance of about 122 meters.

When equipped with cameras, drones must be at least 50 meters away from humans, vehicles, buildings and structures, and must not be within 150 meters of crowded areas or groups such as sporting events and concerts.

In commercial use, in the UK, operators also need the permission of the British Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Although it is not allowed to fly drones in downtown London, just watch the video publishing website and youtube, and there will be a lot of videos taken from drones flying over the no-fly zone.

In Japan, drones and men were arrested on the roof of the prime minister's official residence.

Disputes over drones have also sprung up in Japan.

同年4月、首相官邸の屋上にドローンが落下。威力業務妨害の疑いで40代の男を逮捕。機体にはプラスチック容器が取り付けられ、微量の放射性セシウムを検出

The Ministry of Land and Transport reported 12 drone accidents in 15 years, 55 in 16, 63 in 17 and 37 in 18, a sharp increase. It is reported that on April 6, 18, the airliner landing at Haneda Airport visually saw a black flying object with a diameter of about 2 meters, which looks like a drone.

Japan has also strengthened its supervision.

Japan revised its aviation law of September 15 on drones

(1) Flight is not allowed in the airspace around the airport, over densely populated areas and at an altitude of more than 150 meters.

(2) fly during the day

(3) fly within the visual range of the eye

(4) keep more than 30 mail distance from the third party, car and building.

(5) do not allow most people to fly over the gathering venues.

(6) do not transport dangerous goods

(7) do not drop articles

The matter has been decided.

Set 300 meters outside the prime minister's official residence, parliament, palace, embassy, nuclear power plant and other important facilities as a no-fly zone, if the driver does not obey the evacuation order, the police can destroy the drone. Violators will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year or a fine of not more than 500000 yen.

With the increasing expectation and possibility of commercial use of drones, in order to protect aviation safety and prevent the abuse of terrorist activities and crimes, we need more detailed discussion and discussion, as well as comprehensive policies to see what laws and regulations are effective.

In September 15, three companies, including the British company Businer Monitoring system, developed a system for detecting and crashing drones (AUDS).

Drones of any size will intrude within 10 kilometers, and high-performance radar detection cameras will immediately start tracking. A defense system that sends a jamming signal to a drone before entering the danger zone, causing it to crash.

It takes 8-15 seconds to hit. The system has been adopted by the Federal Aviation Administration and tested at airports in the United States.

The UAV storm at Gatwick Airport tells us that high-performance drones can now be easily provided to anyone, including counter-terrorism, and every airport needs to introduce a drone interception system.
