The combination of battery tech advances, cheap wireless comms and cheap processors has created a huge range of asymmetric risks like this. I suspect terrorists/freedom-fighters (depending on which side of which conflict you're on) will be exploring them for a long time to come - bomb-drones and remote IEDs are just the start of the development curve.
- whatshisface 6y agoEveryone keeps calling these risks asymmetric, but we haven't seen the price of a birdshot flak cannon because there hasn't been that much of a need yet.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe cannon, targeting system, radar, and so on, is likely to be more expensive than the number of suicide drones to destroy it.
