db_zero Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Using microwaves to disable drone swarms..... Will we eventually see a miniaturized version of this accompanying armored vehicles or on the vehicles themselves. I see no reason why not. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2511792/army-partners-with-air-forces-thor-for-base-defense/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I was working at a defense show the other year. A client had some gear mounted on a vehicle that they had to make sure they absolutely did not turn on by accident, because the bill for fried mobile phones would be astronomical. And it wasn't aimed at mobile phones. Drone denial around airports is a different animal to drone denial in a battlespace... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_zero Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Maybe they can figure out a way to direct the microwaves in specific directions or arcs from which the drone threat is coming from. As for the frying of mobile phones, I think the military has just come up with a solution for soldiers making tic tok videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Yes, very interesting. Mass drone attacks seem to be the future. Am sure we'll see an "arms race" between anti-drone and pro-drone technology to see what can block or overcome blocking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so many nations have this capability 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather care more about MW relays.THAT would foot quite a bill if one factors is the inevitable consequences 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
