This AI drone defense system looks incredibly promising. I'm eagerly anticipating a future IPO from Anduril, and I can't wait for the opportunity to invest in such an innovative company. Keep up the good work!
I hope they always stay private worldwide, the public and others should never be able to make money from this stuff and it needs to stay private without public opinion snd politics affecting them.
Peoples obsession with cheap swarms are crazy. Look at the leaked internal documents on the price of a shahed drone, its equivalent to a tomahawk missile. If you are thinking 25 cheap aliexpress drones, EW systems will make quick work of them.
Anduril is nice, but time is running and there is already a problem with a huge number of cheap drones around 400-500/pc USD which can attack a facility...yes monitoring is necessary but also the ability to continuously deal with numbers is a key ... imagine you have to deal with 100 drones for 3 days... so maybe burnt motherboard of an attacking drone will be more sexy kind of defense
This is literally Skynet So the interceptor drone just collides with the target? Kinetic energy only? Why not apply an electric charge, a net, or something more impactful?
Because it can bonk the enemy more than once, and navigate itself back to the charger without even requiring a human to reload it. This means you can have a lot of them and actually win against the attacker in a battle of attrition.
@@BosonCollider You misunderstand my question or this drone's concept (the end of the video). It literally collides with the enemy, so there's no navigating back, unless somehow it can survive that intentional impact - and I doubt it can.
I think that interceptor drone is designed to be durable enough to survive the impact. They also do have other variant packed with explosive to take out bigger drone.@@TaskSwitcherify
I will be blunt. The air to air drone component could/should have a CIWS primary/secondary and a 3rd line missile battery. The defense of the base has to be multi-role - its fine to define an anti-drone defense. This ends up being a monoculture solution. And I'll add, this solution looks like a very expensive one unable to deal with swarms. If you have 96 drones over head appearing - how does this system work then? A lot of holes in this solution.
Rather than sending even more UK money to american billionaires like we do with amazon they should have funded the UKs laser system which looks way more efficient and promising
What does the laser accomplish if the enemy wraps its drone in tinfoil? Or if the enemy drone flies too high for lasers to be effective. Or if it rains? Lasers sound cool but have way to many weak points to ever be a solo solution.
Hang on this total loss deployment, the anvil is destroyed!! That's not a very good system...surely Anvil needs to do what it says and destroy the object not itself as well!!!
Cheaper to replace drones than use a missile or other system to intercept. Plus you have very little chance to cause collateral damage. The damage to drones is likely to be superficial so they can also be repaired as long as the chassis is well made the rest just bolts on.
Ofcourse they buy our tech. Just like we buy from them. For example, the British make great artillery. That's why they developed the M777 and M119s for us. We work great together. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Who can launch 1000 drones without being noticed miles away? Or 1000 drones from single estate car? 🤣 System demonstrated is just for base, storage, compound protection against close encounter. Country air space is protected differently
Should you really be giving the test site co-ordinates? I would be grateful if you remove that as I live in the village and dont want to be targeted anymore than we already are.
