Lots of words but not much detail. What I'm interstates to know:

- The effective range of the system, if the range is only 100m or so then you might need a lot of these to protect a larger strategic area.

- How it neutralises the drones, does it overheat certain components or just inject sufficient noise into the system that the flight controller stops working or just disrupt any command signals.

My guess is it just overwhelmems the control. Solving auto-homing sounds like a hard problem and it's more feasible to just have the drone land on the loss of control.

So what. It's literally just a game. Not important enough to sacrifice our freedoms and control for.

If you're a developer / engineer you'll admire the professionalism. And more importantly value proposition of your work.
