NPAS and drones ..... Octocopters are just the job for footsie matches and marches, yet as they say in the onion trade, that's shallot.

Besides, don't these big boy drones deal with Lat Long coordinates? I've not yet seen an online latlong postcode converter

The drones carry surveillance equipment that can detect hostile aircraft from 2,000 miles away and are fitted with powerful cameras that can zoom in on pilot's faces.
It's been a while since my last recognition lesson, but have they now moved in to pilot recognition? Must be chuffin' difficult with a helmet, mask and dark visor. So the simple countermeasure for this super camera system would be to simply blank out the helmet names
