You would expect these are going to have anti-anti-drone defensive measures, lower profile signals, directional, IR/laser, wideband/agile-RF and the like, aside from things like shrouded blades, indirect message routing via a master drone to reduce RF energy cost.
- toss1 2y agoYup. It's been 'Game On' for several years now. I would expect that using the RF signal for detection will go extinct as an opportunity in a very short time span (esp as targeting gets more AI-ish capabilities), detecting the audio signature will be key, and reducing that signature will accelerate.
- ggm 2y agoQuieter drones would get my good housekeeping tick of approval. Lots of downsides but I think the upsides dominate. I prefer less intrusion (audio) to demanding they beep loudly so I know I am being snooped on.
- toss1 2y agoYup, nevermind reducing signature for military stealth, I'd also like it reduced just for general use. I think it will be critical for delivery applications. People think more rapid delivery via drone is cool, for about five seconds, when they think of the noise, and then it's "Hell no! I don't want those damn things buzzing around my neighborhood all day!"
