I think the only way to fight it would be with microwaves.

Aside from that, my critique of the design is that the pintle mount appears to be significantly offset from the center of mass, which should make stabilization very difficult (they claim to have solved this).

My mental design of such a beast was more along the lines of a tilt rotor long range bot with a M2. Using the extended range available from the tilt rotor configuration, it could travel to and land somewhere in the bad guys’ backyard, and set up shop in the dark of night. Using passive/active IR sensors, it would wait for the bad guys to appear, do its deed, and then quietly fly away.

“Grim Reaper” - That’s actually a pretty genius concept.

I’d be curious to learn about microwaves. Seems like that or like others have said regarding radio frequencies (or EMP) would be about the only way to kill these things.

I think the only way to fight it would be with microwaves.

I thought of a couple of ways:

1. Fuel air explosion

2. Chaff (aluminum tinsel) in large quantities dropped from a balloon. This will end communication with the drone and they'll crash or go off course.

3.Powerful radio interference (Van de Graff generator?)

4.Trained hawks to destroy them.

5. Shotguns from hunters.

Very simple and elegant. I love it!
