I wonder if we are going to see the re-introduction of gun SHORAD systems. They have been phased out or just not really developed since the 70s/80s, and cheap drones are expensive to kill with missiles. Especially if they don’t emit enough heat for heatseekers and are too small and low to the ground for radar homing ones.
Skyranger has already been bought by Germany, Denmark and Austria, with Hungary, Lithuania and the US being interessted. The German IFV Puma has also been given the ability to use its main gun against drones. So it seems like a lot of countries are very interessted in it. There are also laser based systems.
