Anti-drone company in UK

[Nivek]

I did a google search for Drones in Northamptonshire UK and I came across this website.

It was interesting reading this website of an anti-drone company that has been set up in the UK. It appears to capitalise on media reports from the likes of The Sun newspaper and claims, amongst other things, to be able to block GPS and video signals 'meaning that the drone returns to its start location, lands or drifts harmlessly away'. This raises a lot of questions and insight to what is happening out there as far as recreational drone flying is concerned.
If the company claims are true, how can a drone drift away harmlessly 'drift away'? (Drift away into what and where to?).
As for the projectile being fired from a torch-like gun to fire a net at a drone (which can only reach 15 metres distance), surely that would need a firearm certification?
Would they not be liable themselves for criminal damage to a third parties' property?

There's a lot of ignorance in this sort of thing.
The companies trying to sell these anti-drone measures are counting on anti-drone ignorance and paranoia to find customers.
They hope to exploit potential customers that don't understand how trivial the potential threat posed by drones is or what drones can and can't do.
Then there appears to be a lot of ignorance from the companies offering this technology.
For instance:

Once the drone is detected the Dynopis System can be activated to block its control, GPS and video signals meaning that the drone returns to its start location, lands or drifts harmlessly away.
With an operational range up to from 200meters to 3km, if you can see the drone then you can stop it.​

If you could block GPS the drone would have no way of returning anywhere.
You'd also have serious issues with the jamming of GPS and wireless communications for any legitimate uses within the area.
That's illegal.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this exactly.
