"Keen to press ahead with countermeasures, a British prison this week
switched on a newly installed 600-meter-high (about 2,000 feet) 'drone
shield' that’s designed to detect and block drones that fly close to its
perimeter. It’s thought to be the first prison in the world to use such
a shield.
The 'Sky Fence' is the work of U.K. firms Drone Defence and Eclipse
Digital Solutions and it’s been set up at Les Nicolles prison on the
southern British island of Guernsey.
The system incorporates a number of signal disruptors placed around
the perimeter as well as inside the prison grounds. When it detects a
drone flying close by, it jams the signal between the drone and the
pilot, thereby preventing it from completing its mission. The technology
in its current form returns the drone to where it took off, which may
give alerted security guards a chance to apprehend the offender and
seize the contraband.
The cost of installing the technology is put at 100,000 to 250,000
British pounds ($130,000 to $325,000), depending on the size of the
prison."
This will be an endless game of offense vs. defense. Some commentor suggested maybe a net over the place would just be a bit cheaper.
