If it can put out enough RF, it will fry the electronics. It will probably be quite effective against the crude, flying IEDs that are being used in Russia and Ukraine since they have little to no shielding.

yeah that could be a hell of a trick but I’m not sure it’s possible… perhaps if they’re beamforming with phased array radar systems and can pump out a lot more juice…
yeah that’s the idea but the level of precision is really quite tricky when your target is a pcb hovering ??? away and not standing still. basic beamforming is easy, the trick here would be damned impressive.
like change wars impressive, and I don’t mean (only) ukraine.
They’ve also got a drone-mounted version that can get right up close and blast them with angry pixie hate. Was poking around their site a little and even when you account for how much is probably marketing wank or testing under ideal cases, these look pretty good.
I was going through their site and it looked almost too good to be true.
If it works as advertised, our government should make a clone of this (our productions and operational costs are always going to be significantly less than in the US), perhaps even under license.
Think it’s time to start putting together a letter to some politicians here in support of adding these to a future aid package. I don’t expect to convince anyone alone but maybe I can add my raindrop to a flood if others have the same idea. This is potentially life-saving tech (if it can get to where it’s needed, anyway) and exactly what I want my tax money doing.
A Faraday cage would help if it’s controlled by fiber and doesn’t have any antennas. That adds even more weight to a drone that’s already carrying a heavy payload though.

Looks like they thought of that. From the first article linked in my reply to your other comment (one with headline “US Army awards contract…”):

Lol, angry pixie hate
Isn’t that easily mitigated with a simple Faraday cage tho?
