The use of drones has been a key development in modern warfare, with unmanned aircraft used to devastating effect in combat zones around the world.
Their size and manoeuvrability make them incredibly difficult to defend against.
That’s why there’s so much attention on the ground-breaking work being carried out with ‘quantum’ technology.
Scientists say it could make drone detection far more precise.
The research is taking place at the University of Birmingham, which has a proud history in this field.
