UK puts £20.5M behind 'numberplate for the skies' to keep tabs on drones

The UK government will spend £20.5 million to develop a 'numberplate system for the skies' to track drones, and an additional £26.5 million on regulatory changes to support drone use in emergency responses and other areas. The system aims to identify and take action against unauthorized drones, following incidents at airports. The funding is part of a broader effort to integrate drones into UK airspace.
