UK Justice Ministry Launches Drone Defense Contest

The UK Justice Ministry has launched a new technology challenge to address the growing threat of drones attempting to breach prison security. The initiative seeks innovative solutions that can detect, track, or disrupt unauthorized drone activity near correctional facilities.

The program will offer funding to successful applicants, enabling them to develop proof-of-concept technologies aimed at enhancing perimeter protection. As drones become more sophisticated and accessible, the UK Justice Ministry is prioritizing advanced countermeasures to prevent illegal items from entering prison grounds.

Applicants are encouraged to propose creative, scalable solutions that can be integrated into existing security infrastructure. The challenge reflects an ongoing effort to leverage cutting-edge tools in the fight against contraband smuggling via unmanned aerial vehicles.
