760 flights diverted from Gatwick airport after drone scare, affecting 110,000 passengers

Those “guns” appear to jam the two wifi bands and GPS, perfect against store-bought hobby drones. (Most of them will slow land on loss of control and GPS.)

The trouble with a deliberate disruption operation like this is that it’s very likely that they’re not using those frequencies.

It’d be a fun SIGINT project to analyze the drones’ communications.
