In the Gatwick case it appears the drone was remotely operated rather than autonomously visiting a series of GPS way points.
I figured the authorities could pretty quickly triangulate the signal to locate the operator. But Gatwick is a bucket of suck so maybe they're just unprepared?
Also, I understood that drones are geofenced out of restricted airspace such that they disobey commands to fly where they're not allowed.
