Anti-Drone "ForceField

Prisons have had some issues with drones, the owner of the drone would fly the drone into the prisons and deliver something bad to the inmates like drugs. The prisons security would have to wait until the drones would crash or until they find the operator. Except, two British companies have started to make a force field called the Sky Fence. The Sky Fence is a large wall that climbs up to 2,000 feet high that is invisible. Richard Gill the CEO, explained that the Sky Fence wouldn’t make the drone crash, because that could really injure someone, the force field would just make the drone bounce back out of the prison. The operator’s screen for the drone would go black, and they couldn’t control it. One of the prisons have this Sky Fence for defense, they are the first in the world to have it.

I liked this article about the drones and the “Sky Fence” because I have heard in the news that drones have been doing things bad. But I know now that people are trying to find out a ways to block out drones. I found this interesting because I didn’t think that prisons would worry about this because of all the security that they have.
