You're from the future?

No, the fat-finger here and now. My BAE years were 2021-2023, so I was hesitant about 2021 or 2022, and fumbled. The same group had outfitted a Bradley fighting vehicle with a system that could detect and hit an RPG, by slewing its turret in real time. The problem was that that was all it could do. It was way too expensive as a counter-RPG decoy, and could be defeated by saturation.

All these inventions sound amazing. I’m wondering... Does the U.S. now have the kinetic anti-drone system you described? Or, is it still in development?

If the drone had been destroyed with that system, could the airspace have remained open? /just an honest question
