I think you need to think about drone swarms or herds. Not all of the drones need AI or the same level of AI. Some drones will support the costs of a higher level AI and others will have lower AI capabilities and refocus resources on other capacities like attack. Simple drones in volume may be used to overwhelm defenses.

I agree, the anti-drone aspect needs to be low-latency. But I actually expect that soon, most drones will come with some anti-drones aspects, and some will will be multi-purpuse, capable of launcing some anti ground ordenance. For that part, they may come with a manual mode, for a while longer.

Assume there will be IFF for drones. With crypto key rotation to keep it reliable.
