I was curious how densely you needed drones — 1 per 5 or 6 sq km. A level that a force might accidentally have that many. Assumptions: - 5 drones per vehicle to achieve a neutralization - 50 vehicles breaking through the line - total of 250 drones to neutralize - 30km range (60km/h with 20 minute flight time) - which is ~1400 sq km (half circle of radius 30km) - for 1 drone per 5 or 6 sq km required density If you just hand out drones to squads and transport teams, there’s a non-trivial chance you’ll have that many in the relevant area. My understanding is that we’re only missing the tactics or automated swarming. Also, I’m assuming wireless drones; only being able to use fiber drones would significantly change the math (with their more limited range).
