Cheap autonomous drone swarms outpace today's fragmented air defense systems

CCheap autonomous drone swarms present escalating defense challenges that current fragmented radar, camera, jammer, and interceptor systems cannot address. The need is an integrated counter-swarm stack including high-capacity interceptors that eliminate multiple drones, real-time sensor fusion software, and novel non-kinetic defenses. The winning approach treats drone defense as a distributed systems problem more like Cloudflare than a traditional weapons maker.
