BT has signed a deal with Australian company DroneShield, which has worked with the British Army.
Its DroneGun Tactical weapon shoots rays to take down a target from more than a mile away.
BT will also offer clients use of the DroneSentinel, which can track a pilot operating the drone up to three miles away.
The tech could have avoided last years Gatwick drone saga which cost police up to £900,000 with nobody brought to justice.
Eco-activists were arrested last week amid fears of travel disruption at Heathrow.

I’m looking forward to the Harbor Freight version.
It will kind of work a couple of times.

Looks like they finally figured out how to combine a rifle with an e-tool. I was happy with a bayonet...

Quad-miniguns would work, too. Simpler technology, and much more fun. When firing, they validate their very purchase, as everyone immediately knows that the taxpayer is getting their money’s worth.

Ben-Gurion airport has guys with shotguns and bird shot.
Seems a bit more practical.
And cheaper.

I can’t wait for the ray or laser gun and its technology to hit the American gun market. The left will have a heart attack. They will be easier to design and tool by 3-D than our conventional guns. God bless the Second Amendment.

For a second, I thought the headline was in reference to upgrades to what Tommy Sotomayor refers to as the “BT” series of Terminatrix. :P
