DroneShield announced a partnership with BT Group, a provider of telecommunications solutions with operations in 180 countries, and the largest telecommunications company in the United Kingdom. Going forward, BT will provide counterdrone solutions to a range of its customers across a number of industries and sectors, utilizing DroneShield’s drone detection and mitigation technology.
“This is a watershed moment for DroneShield,” DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik said. “Following the Christmas 2018 events at the Gatwick airport, when rogue drones brought UK air travel to a standstill, stranding hundreds of thousands of travelers and causing tens of millions of dollars in economic damage, the UK industry and government have been actively searching for effective and cost-effective drone detection and mitigation solutions. For BT, this search has now culminated in a partnership with DroneShield, a global leader in anti-drone solutions.
