055.RND.FIELD.NOTES
Field notes on the drones that rewrote the cost of war, and on what it takes to stop them.
Piloted by a human or flown autonomously, with AI holding the lock on the final approach. Radio link or fibre-optic tether. Hundreds of euros against armour worth millions.
Heavy multirotors that release munitions over the target, then return for the next sortie. Payload, endurance and the logistics of reuse.
Detect, track, defeat, automatically. Precise enough for one airframe, cheap enough for a hundred.
233.SWARM.COORDINATION.MESH
No leader, no single point of failure. Every interceptor shares what it sees, the swarm agrees who takes which target in milliseconds, and two go for each one. The only defence that scales at the attacker's price.
