The next innovation will be networking (jam-resistant radio relays and/or light) and patrolling, which will optimize coverage, report hot spots, and fill in gap

The next innovation will be networking (jam-resistant radio relays and/or light) and patrolling, which will optimize coverage, report hot spots, and fill in gaps from attrition. The end result will be an air traffic control system that creates a minefield of the air—an area-denial death zone. The real innovation with drones, though, is that there is no more "fog of war." Drones provide a perfect information environment.
