I think it's really good of Extinction Rebellion to provide a live trial for CUAS companies claims.
There are too many BS systems out there. Extinction Rebellion has been awfully decent about it, they have given counter drone companies the dates to start looking.
Will this open up the conversation about who has the right to disable or shoot down a drone, what will be done about GPS and C2 jamming, what other services will it affect?

If you have read this far, I do have a hat in the ring on this one, my eldest son is due back on holiday to here in this time slot. So CUAS do your thing.

Consortiq has not rested on its laurels over the festive period and has been busy working on rolling out several improvements to its award-winning CQNet drone management software.
It has once again taken on customer feedback and added new features to better operators’ experiences, including the introduction of a first of its kind offline airspace caching mode on the iOS version of the app, as well as a rollout to Android.
New web-based features include a multi-department capability for organisations, allowing them to work in multiple, separate sections on the system, segregating data relating to the pilots, missions or aircraft.
