A couple days ago there was news that the air force is going to start taking the "Angry Kitten" sdr pods they'd used to emulate adversary craft (for training).and statt trying to use it for electronic warfare[1] (cant find original link... this is similar but has a more tentative disposition on it happening or only maybe).
At the time I was mainly thinking jamming. I figure it's probably a different class system to be able to directed-energy fry a craft. But even just throwing some EM spikes at it, having pulse emitting, might be enough to wreck elements of even a pretty capable aytonomous attack craft swarm.
