Two major UK airports order military-grade anti-drone equipment

London's Gatwick and Heathrow airports have ordered military-grade anti-drone defences worth "several million pounds" after drones caused 3 days of disruption at Gatwick last month, the airports confirmed Thursday. "While I can't go into detail about exactly what we have, I can confirm this was an investment of several million pounds to ensure we are at an equivalent level to that provided by the Armed Forces," a Gatwick spokesperson said. Gatwick said the new equipment had been in place for over a week. Heathrow also said it had ordered the equipment. It said it was working closely with authorities including the police and looking at relevant technology to combat the threat of drones. <br/>
