The Minister of State for Defence Procurement, Mr Philip Dunne MP, and Mr Guy Opperman, MP for Hexham, visited OpenWorks Engineering for a demonstration of the SkyWall100 portable drone defence system.
The demo included the capture of a drone, brought safely to the ground using an SP40 projectile. After watching the demonstration and examining the system, Mr Philip Dunne congratulated the team on their ability to develop such an innovative product so quickly.
Mr Dunne was traveling across the north east visiting a number of defence and engineering companies.
