In response to the threat of drone attacks, Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department
has introduced a netcarrying drone designed to capture other unmanned aircraft
that fly over restricted areas, Asian Review reports. The initiative is the first of its
kind in Japan.
Tokyo police have been confronting the problem of drone threats since an
unmanned aircraft carrying a small amount of radioactive soil landed on the prime
minister's roof in April, according to the Asahi Shimbun AJW.
“Terrorist attacks using drones carrying explosives are a possibility,” a senior
member of the police department’s Security Bureau told the outlet. “We hope to

Initially, the police force plans to deploy only one of the drones, and will deploy it

The police force's drone squad will provide aroundtheclock coverage for a full
month as part of a trial run. In February, the initiative will go fully into effect with a
fleet of 10 drones.

Drones are increasingly popular in Japan, forcing Japanese officials to take
precautions against drone activity.
"In Japan, it is illegal to pilot drones over certain areas such as airports and power
plants, over roads, or above a height of 150m," Paul Haswell, a partner at the law

Following an amendment to the country's Aviation Act, tighter airspace regulations
went into place in Japan as of Dec. 10 to help thwart potential drone threats.
