Laughable garbage. Notice the article fails to state at what range the system engaged the drones or the size of the system itself. I suspect this is a container sized system that costs tens of millions of dollars, and has an engagement range of maybe a couple miles against non-hardened targets.

Drone swarms also only exist as a flight of fancy not a real threat. We know how drones are actually utilized, and the 'swarm' you are talking about constists of a dozen drones spread out maybe over 10 square miles.

If you're so confident in your system, then send it to Ukraine (or considering the current admin, Russia might be more your speed).

I wish the day would come when Americans would look at R&D as a valuable and meaningful activity in of itself, not as some sort of long con designed to allow investors and VCs to magic money out of nowhere.
