It wouldn't be sent out on its own to disrupt drones. It would be part of a group with defensive and offensive capabilities. Also, this is proof of concept.

It wouldn't be sent out on its own to disrupt drones. It would be part of a group with defensive and offensive capabilities. Also, this is proof of concept. A deployed version would probably include increased armoring for the power plant and control.
- Retric 10y agoIt suffers from the same problem as Radar anything that needs to broadcast is easy to hit. Awacs aircraft for example are an evolution of this concept. The first obvious solution is to have a separate unmanned 'pod' that's easy to replace. But, a manned and self contained truck even with armor based on this design would be a really dangerous place on a battlefield.
- daveguy 10y agoThat's a good point. If the radar is a brief pulse that would help. Staying mobile would also help. An unmanned expendable perimeter pod, like you suggest, could also draw fire.
