I've work on these "secret" systems in anduril. I can tell you all about it, even the secret parts because nobody really gives a shit.
Most companies aren't using SoCs here. They use Nvidia Xavier's and radar. Vision is for record keeping, it's mostly a joke to use it to trigger some counter uas thing. Its like a bird triggering a missile launch. Vision isn't reliable enough... Similar to how like an LLM isn't reliable enough.
All of these systems can easily be overwhelmed by a cheap small cluster of drones. No system will react fast enough to bring down say 10 drones.
A stealth drone will give a solved problem of getting past counter uas with an even cheaper solution. That's all I'm saying here.
Actually a phalanx might have a shot at bringing down 10 drones. But it won't do this consistently and each bullet costs probably around 20 drones.
