NT Service gunning for drones
With drones becoming ever more commonplace, there is an increasing demand for countermeasures to tackle the threat they pose, whether in military or civilian theatres.
At the Security & Counter Terror Expo in London, running from 5-6 March, there was a wide variety of anti-drone technology on show, including the EDM4S.
Currently available from Lithuanian based NT Service, the EDM4S (Electronic Drone Mitigation System) is a man portable jammer originally designed for use in prisons to counter smuggling, though the system has also been used by border control and some unspecified military forces.
