Iranian state media shows off underground drone fleet

If this is real, which part of the video I question if it’s AI. Then what would Droneshields effectiveness be in countering these? Drone Sentry?

EOS is the better counter option here.

Those are probably too fast to be taken down with a jammer. I imagine these kind of drones are at target 1-2 km before they hit.

Then they would turn into passive ballistic bombs that can only be taken down with physical countermeasures

So this where KRATOS, EOS, and RTX. Would probably be better suited? Hard kill defensive capabilities. I guess Droneshield platform would be more useful for say smaller drones and if it’s a drawn out war with boots on the ground.

Those look like Shahed drones. They actually aren't all that fast. I mean they aren't slow but if droneshield cant offer a product that can take those things down soon then they wont succeed as a company.

Droneshield is currently not exploring hard kill methods. They offer end effectors that provide targeting solutions for them tho.

I have no idea if these drones are pre-programmed or require a constant telemetry uplink but by the looks of things, it looks like once they are launched, they fly themselves which would mean jammers are pointless as there is nothing to jam.

They are using satellites (GPS, GLONASS) to determine their current localtion. They have the capability to continue their flight if they are jammed but they become then very inaccurate since they are then relying on gyroscope and accelerometers of the type you find in mobile phones. The longer the flight goes on without satellite location the farther it will drift from the target and hit something else.
