German authorities have deployed a laser installation at Munich Airport (MUC) following multiple drone sightings at the facility since the start of the month. The hub is one of several across Europe to have faced operational disruption of this nature in recent times, including multiple days last week.
As such, Euro News notes that, according to anonymous security sources cited by the Bild newspaper in Germany, laser equipment has been installed at the facility with the intention of protecting it from future disruption caused by drones.
Specifically, the technology is said to be able to allow opportunities to establish the distance from the airport of the offending drone(s), which should help expedite search procedures if and when more are sighted in the vicinity of the hub once again.
