We’re at the Beginning

It now appears that for every company that is actively designing and building armed drones, there are multiple companies coming up with ever more effective means of rendering them useless. The drone race is only just now beginning and the “swarm” approach, which utilizes large numbers of smaller, less-expensive autonomous units is much more difficult to defend against. Once the target coordinates are input, all a field operator needs to do is crawl within range of the target and press a button, and then stand back and watch them wreak havoc. The face of combat is changing.
