If only the Germans won, you wouldn't have a drone problem. Just sayin.

You need a more powerful thumpmobile zapper.
Here in Germany you build an EMP generator with a microwave oven, and a directional antenna. When this idiot appears again with his basses pumping you fire it in direction of the car's HiFi equipment and it will be silent. If you accidentally hit the car's electronics, oops.
If you fire it at a drone it will drop like a stone. You need more power for a swarm, of course. Just saying

I am fairly certain that such a radio emiter would be highly illegal.

I hear on the news a couple have been arrested but not charged as to date. This subject came up on the radio and a security expert rang in saying these drones have been flown around Heathrow for years and Heathrow has refused to close.

I trust that they will be suitably inconvenienced by not being released on Bail prior to Christmas.

Typical brain dead coppers of the day, they arrest the first person they hear has got a drone and never mind the bloody great big alibi that the accused are supposed to have, the bleeding knob heads.

'He couldn't have been flying a drone over Gatwick, he was fitting windows at the time!' Boss of double glazing worker, 47, arrested with his wife, 54, insists police have 'got the wrong guy'

I do not know make or model of said drones, but as german News told it they were all of a similar type and of a "professional design", whatever that means. They have to be controlled by someone, and by some certain frequency. Would be best to detect the control signal and then go for it, directional-wise.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy.. because the air is full of control frequencies of all kinds, almost jammed. To be able to control one certain drone, or a swarm, the drone(s) has(ve) to isolate the signal meant for it/them.
So getting hand on one of the drones to find out the frequency and code (often via some Rfid chip) is mandatory

^As far as my understanding goes "professional design" means they were of industrial standard capable of carrying cameras and light loads.

Quote:
The suggestion there may not have been any drones at Gatwick Airport was a "miscommunication by police", a government source has told the BBC.

During a conference call between ministers, chaired by Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, it was agreed the 67 drone sightings were legitimate.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-46670714
This is a bit rich when you consider Chris Grayling is possibly the worst Transport Minister we've had in decades and the remaining Ministers aren't exactly showing any kind of competency where Brexit is concerned.
