Swarm of 40 Drones over Fort Irwin an Ominous Sign of What’s to Come
- HereIGoAgain 4y agoTime to work on smarter/better mini versions of the Stinger. Probably more than one loaded shot should be the norm going forward as well.
- kencausey 4y agoNote that this was a simulated attack instigated by the US military itself.

- djohnston 4y agoDo current techniques in electronic warfare, like signal jamming, limit the risk from these types of swarms?
- tekchip 4y agoLikely. I know there are any number of jamming technologies that jam communications. Also things like Samy Kamkar's Skyjack https://youtu.be/EHKV01YQX_w https://youtu.be/EHKV01YQX_w
- c_o_n_v_e_x 4y agoDepends on the UAVs capability. You can jam RF telemetry and control links, along with GPS/GNSS as well. Without GPS/GNSS, the UAV is forced to rely on dead reckoning (inertial guidance). Unless you've got some very expensive gyros and accelerometers onboard, you're limited to short distances/time frames before you crash. If you've got some visual guidance on board, you're less susceptible to jamming (in theory).

- pfundstein 4y agoI'd like to see that thing shoot drones that aren't hovering in a line, something quick and agile like FPV racing drones.
