Supplement to this device:
A 1-watt IR LED beacon that strobes a few times a second, and a fleet of small foam/electric flying wings that will track that beacon from 400 foot altitude at high speed (much cheaper to use CMOS sensors and a beacon than something FLIR could provide for engine heat).
The current arrangement is vulnerable on two fronts - GPS jammers, which could be extremely disruptive to modern society, and jammers on whatever frequency is used to transmit position (GPS itself is a passive receiver technology).
