Brendan Schulman Vice President of Policy and Legal Affairs, DJI talking to a UK Parliamentary Inquiry The Defence Committee launches an inquiry examining the risk of terrorists and other extremists maliciously using drones within the UK, and what the Government should be doing to address this threat. In recent years ever-more advanced drones have become readily available to the civilian market, and concern has increased around the world about their potential use by terrorists. The disruption caused at Gatwick and Heathrow airports last December and January highlighted the impact the misuse of drones could have, while there is growing worry that the battlefield experience gained from the use of drones in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, for both reconnaissance and attacking targets, could be used domestically. The Defence Committee has decided to explore the nature of the threat from drones, the availability of countermeasures and the UK’s preparedness for responding to this threat. ***************** If you would like to support Drone & Sundry for free and browse the internet without being tracked by ads and data trackers, download and use Brave browser: https://brave.com/dro980 ***************** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP EMAIL http://eepurl.com/dxkHcv Stay informed on the Business of Drones Don't miss out on any of our latest videos, subscribe to our channel https://goo.gl/PMFYQb Other places you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/droneandsundry/ https://www.suasnews.com https://www.facebook.com/suasnews https://www.twitter.com/suasnews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GUbssVARYc
