This will last exactly as long as it takes somebody to fly a drone into the side of the White House. Not any kind of special drone, just some idiot trying to get a cool shot for their YouTube channel.
I’ve done some work related to the anti drone systems and I assure you even the best of the best is an absolute joke against all but the most naive operator. The ultimate drone defense right now is somewhere between magnum #6 bird and #4 turkey shot :/
If said work was more than a year ago then it is significantly outdated.
Watch perun’s videos covering drone warfare in Ukraine it gives a good overview of what has been tried and its effective.
The us government absolutely can shoot down a couple hundred dollar drone its just a matter of if they need to use a half a million dollar intercepted to do it.
Honestly I think he oversold the effectiveness of the systems. The work I did is still ongoing so I’m up to speed on the available systems, though mostly on the RF side. If you watch the stuff coming out of Ukraine the drones aren’t really being impeded all that much and if you know how to use ardupilot and selectively enable your data link you can pretty much get away with whatever you want because the US isn’t gonna allow anyone to jam GPS right next to multiple major airports. If you want to avoid even relying on GPS there are starting to be mature solutions out there too.

We might get a video of the white house’s defence systems shooting it down instead.

Ah a fellow perun addict.

Ahh I’m sorry for doubting you.
I was under the impression argument for the drones not being impeded in Ukraine was an economic one.
Civdiv on yt has some very interesting content on the subject.

Hello friend…
I see you…

Good night.
Unidentified Drone - identify yourself or we will shoot you down with feathers!
/operator/ feathers? Dammit, is there even a drone there or is that also a hallucination.
