Terrorism: Unmanned Air Systems
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the threat posed by the malicious use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by terrorist organisations in the UK.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office coordinates the government’s counter-drone policy and closely monitors how drones are being used in all threat areas, including organised crime, conflict zones, and terrorism. We work closely with other Government departments and operational partners, such as the police and military, to understand current and emerging drone and counter-drone technologies and the threats and opportunities they present, and to develop the necessary technical capabilities and legislation to counter those threats.
