You can shield the weapon with a Farday cage, but then how do you communicate with it? If its a smart set and forget weapon (e. g., with an optical targeting system) shielding ought to work. But if you have to radio guide it, shielding keeps out your radio signal. I'm speaking as an electrical engineer, not as anyone with any weapons knowledge.
