• If said work was more than a year ago then it is significantly outdated.

    Watch perun’s videos covering drone warfare in Ukraine it gives a good overview of what has been tried and its effective.

    The us government absolutely can shoot down a couple hundred dollar drone its just a matter of if they need to use a half a million dollar intercepted to do it.

      Ah a fellow perun addict.

      Honestly I think he oversold the effectiveness of the systems. The work I did is still ongoing so I’m up to speed on the available systems, though mostly on the RF side. If you watch the stuff coming out of Ukraine the drones aren’t really being impeded all that much and if you know how to use ardupilot and selectively enable your data link you can pretty much get away with whatever you want because the US isn’t gonna allow anyone to jam GPS right next to multiple major airports. If you want to avoid even relying on GPS there are starting to be mature solutions out there too.
