IIRC NEMP is assumed to be at 50kV/m for milspec certification purposes. However most exposed devices are much simpler than quadcopters. There are some class exemptions too, e.g. electronic sights are allowed a fraction of second blackout after upset. Not something that would work for an attack drone though.
What I think makes Leonidas more efficient is they likely operate in continuous wave bursts rather than pulses. Probably with a broad comb rather than one specific value too.
- hnaccount_rng 1y agoI don't think a fraction of a second interruption would be overly problematic. These drones are somewhat heavy and thus bring relevant amounts of momentum. But the start up process is probably far too long
- varjag 1y agoYes the reboot takes too long, even before you account the time to re-negotiate comms (even over fiber it is not instant). However in a terminal approach on target say a 1/4 second disrupt will likely be unrecoverable. Quadcopter drones are not ballistic or aerodynamic, and stability recovery once it gets tumbling is challenging.
