An opinion piece, and I believe a valuable one at that. Don’t rush to solve today’s problem at the expense of making a strategic error tomorrow. Seek a balance of risk mitigation strategies that makes sense. I think c-UAS - real, militarized c-UAS advanced technologies - is money better spent than over-spending on cheap small drones trying to replicate today’s successes. One is an annoying, likely commercially-solvable problem (hence it’s shiny nature and ubiquitous headlines). The other is the potential decider of tomorrow’s battle and is likely only achievable with DoD’s might behind it starting now. Not shiny, mom and pop shops can’t help much, going to take a minute (has been taking a while) to get right. Likely going to be expensive and difficult to scale down in an effective way that makes financial or logistical sense. But it is vital.
