coondoggie writes "This month the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will begin looking for technology that will let wireless communications work through the most extreme interference. From the article: 'The CommEx program will assess next generation and beyond jamming threats and then develop advanced interference suppression and avoidance technologies to successfully communicate in the presence of severe, traditional, and novel types of interference that are orders-of-magnitude more severe than what are currently addressed by the most advanced systems, DARPA stated.'"

Drones are the future. by Dutchmaan · 2010-09-08 19:50 · Score: 3, Insightful

This has drone research written all over it! Take out a signal to a drone and it's as good as shooting it down. It's probably easier to mess with a drone signal than shooting it down as well, but that's just pure speculation on my part.
