#3It’s only a matter of time before governments with the money and the sense adopt automated anti drone radar/turrets.
It’s funny that they haven’t already. I mean it’s about “national security.” This threat has been looming for 10 maybe 15 years now

At Allen Control Systems, we're working on deploying automated anti drone turrets (radar or passive EO detection) right now!
Development in the space is happening at a breakneck pace. We're hiring pretty aggressively, if this sort of thing seems interesting, check it out!

What do you mean haven't already? They most certainly have been working on it (this video is over 6 years old for example):

#7Forget the military threat, imagine the chaos a person could cause with a few thousand dollars worth of shape charge drones if they wanted to, for example, disable a national power grid. Large substation transformers have lead times measured in years. It would cost a few hundred bucks to destroy one. I imagine a guy in a box truck doing a tour of the US, dropping a shape charge drone or two with cellular data connections outside 30 or 40 major substations and activating them all at once.
Once the grid goes dark we're going to suddenly find out that black start of an entire electrical grid is a very difficult thing to do.

#8If these drones are so successful, why are their defences in the billions?
Why don’t you have hunter drones targeting any potential drone coming in?

Defense needs them everywhere, offense needs one gap in the defense.
