> jam their signals
Only if they're remote controlled. Nothing to jam if they're autonomous and using the right navigation sensors.
> fry their circuits with some sort of electrical guns
EMPs are painful for everyone involved, not just the target.
> incentive to develop some good defense against them
Far as I can tell, autonomous drone swarms are the Nash Equilibrium.
- tartoran 6y agoThey don't have full autonomy yet, there appears to be a human operator who takes key decision remotely. But, even if that was so, is there no way to have some defense against such attacks, having that they're electric and rather slow? Tesla ray guns come to mind but I am not very knowledgeable in this field.
- dafoex 6y agoWhile its true that they have human operators currently, they don't necessarily need a lot of autonomy to attack someone jamming their signal. Most of the drone signal jammers I've seen take the form of a handheld directional radio "gun", so it would be pretty easy to just have your bombdrone just direction find the jamming signal and bomb the operator, freeing the field for the n other drones.
