Drones are the new hotness with the Ukraine war and already there are a bunch of counter UAS solutions. Mostly jamming and lasers. Unfortunately it is fresh military tech, meaning neither side really has access to it (as far as I'm aware), so we will continue to see drones being used very effectively on both sides.
I remember reading something about possibly using some kind of AI to take over when being jammed, so that it still hits the target.
Yeah the switchblade has auto tracking (which is just an algorithm), but simple fpv drones with bombs on them won't even get in the air if the control freqs are jammed.
Looks like they're actually implementing this into quads now. Defeats small area jamming.
