It's getting to the point of being trivial to jam a drone - and you do that, it's no longer under your control. Harder to jam a human sitting in a plane.

- patcheudor 9y agoDepends on your perspective. If you are running a consumer grade drone over 2.4Ghz, okay. However, it's actually getting impossible to jam military drones because of technologies like direct sequence ultra-wideband (DS-UWB). Further, if directed by satellite, further measures can be taken to block ground based jamming using directional antennas. Finally: AI. We are already at the point where we have weapons that when they lose communications, have their own camera for target identification.
- greedo 9y agoUh, no. Ask the Iranians who were able to capture an RQ-180 UAV. These sure aren't controlled on the 2.4 spectrum. And today's drones are meat for a manned fighter once they're detected. Clubbing baby seals is one of the terms used... And before someone chimes in about drone fighters, that's a good 20+ years out.
