Rebecca Spayne, Managing Editor, Defence Buyer presents an overview of the different types of counter drone technology, and the growth in appetite for the proper use of drones in security, defence and police. As technology continues to evolve and grow, we can only expect new and creative ways for criminals to gain data or access to prohibited sites, borders or crossings.
