It’s only a matter of time before governments with the money and the sense adopt automated anti drone radar/turrets.
It’s funny that they haven’t already. I mean it’s about “national security.” This threat has been looming for 10 maybe 15 years now

(And not the same company already mentioned here.)
I suspect these turrets are fine with a couple of drones, but what if it's 5000? What if they're autonomous so that they can fly at 1/2 a metre?
With autonomy and something to allow long-distance flight it actually challenges the whole capable-airplane paradigm. People aren't thinking like this at all.
They aren't thinking real saturation, i.e. let's say, an attack with 10000 modernized V-1s, either. I believe that 10,000 modernized V-1s could cost as little as 50 million USD. So less than a single F-35, which has no chance of even reaching more than a couple during such a saturation attack.
Development in the space is happening at a breakneck pace. We're hiring pretty aggressively, if this sort of thing seems interesting, check it out!
