But between youtube, cheap IR cameras, 10k-Neuron-Net running on a raspberry pi, github open source swarming algos, extremely cheap 3'D printing, hap-hazard innocuous chemicals, and a global ubiquitous surveillance state...
A "sufficiently motivated citizen" could literally walk down the street, encounter an altercation, and snap their fingers, and have their opponent 'neutralized' within seconds, all with off the shelf hardware and open source software, right now.
These people exist, but do we really want to stir them?
It's a very chilling effect. Instead of American football driving things, it should be drone piloting. We should reorganize our culture around drone flying, in order to be more competitive during world war 3 that we find ourselves in. We should have a national league of drone pilots, and every high school in the country should be fielding teams to find the best pilots across the country to the level of the Superbowl.
all moot. em jamming. best you get is line of sight, if that isnt countered too with constant retro-reflective detecting IR jamming directional beams(ie. any remote with a convex lense)
it will certainly be interesting. this is why we are Ukraine, to figure it out now.
But you don't need line of sight for the whole squad of operators if you can put up a repeater that the operator's signals can go through.
The FCC killed the hobby and in the process, made us fight with one hand behind our backs. Still, the future of autonomous drones means maybe we won't have human operators for the swarm so maybe it's moot.
