On the subject of countermeasures: I worked for a defense contractor over a decade ago which was developing countermeasures for such things. On the basis of supply/demand, they obviously weren't doing it for a laugh.
With a relatively unconstrained budget, access to technology which is quite scary and secrecy regime, we might already be there behind closed doors.
- nnq 14y agohow would the countermeasures for such things look like, really? I can imagine few things that would work: EMPs - nope, as they would be used most likely in a heavily populated area with everybody relying on electronics; an array of sensor systems connected to something like remote operated guns - too hard to do this without serious damage in a heavily populated are. There's few things that a team of "bad guys" operating in a heavily populated area can do to defend themselves from this tech...
- icoder 14y agoHow about a fishing net?
- meaty 14y agoDirected microwave weapons (fry RF circuits), guided high energy lasers (physical damage), barrage nets (trap), radio jamming (kill ability to return information), doping logical resting points with glue (trap), ASTOR radar (finding source and destroying), honey traps (trap), building other drones to physically knock them out (physical damage), flares (sensor overload). That's what I came up with in a couple of minutes. Plenty of ideas floating around.
