Cool coool, the Chinese have Read Fahrenheit 451: "Wolf Pack" Robot Dog Drones can be Equipped with Grenade Launchers and Machine Guns for Urban Combat

Like real wolves, members of the robot pack have different roles.

And

…, it noted that while the robots were capable of autonomous identification and targeting the system still required human confirmation before a strike.

And

Zhang Wei, a scientist from the Intelligent Technology Research Institute of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, which is developing the Atlas system, told CCTV that drone swarm development aimed to achieve “coordination without communication”.

He added that the drones “understood” each other’s intentions and collaboratively accomplished missions even in the complete absence of communication signals.

Zhang said that highly intelligent, autonomous navigation methods resistant to jamming were needed to achieve “satellite-denied navigation” – the ability to operate when satellite signals are unavailable.

Dude this is the whole story of

Can’t wait to be chased by one of these puppies on my way to steal some insulin.

We’ve now achieved Black Mirror. When do we get Terminator?

Ukraine is doing that. They have anti-drone drones called Sting

No emp because when it comes to drone warfare cost effectiveness is imperative. No use using a multi thousand dollar drone to down one that is a fraction of that cost.

Russia is pretty much doing the same as well. I just watched a video this past week of a drone of theirs skewering a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone with metal rods until the recon drone caught fire and crashed. The Ukraine war is definitely the cutting edge for drone combat.

It’s called the Metal Gear Mk. II and it’s actually remote controlled using a ps3 controller

no one making any anti-drone, drones

Everyone is making these now

They are, they just aren’t advertised

FPV drones are anti-everything that moves drones.

Shoot it’s LIDAR, done.

Japan was doing that a couple of years ago.

Drones aren’t very evasive. Most just fly a set pattern. So yes, you could easily down one with another drone, if you are able to notice it, catch up to it, hit it, and successfully down it. But to effectively do that, you need significantly more anti-drones than drones.

More effective is probably lasers or masers from a ground station. It’s a lot easier to hit a drone when your weapon moves at the speed of light. But that still means you need to notice and target it. And with a ground station, you can only counter stuff in the local area.

Horizon zero dawn future coming sooner than anticipated.

But we are not. Only a (super)keystone species.

The concept is still terrifying, though the article has a BS pic. Here are the real things, they’re basically knock-off BD Spot dogs… With guns

Is an EMP sniper a thing?

Only one thing left to do; become the clanker to kill the clanker.
