I hear you, and a prox shell would be ideal, but I have a hard time seeing the comparisons. The scale of attack drones is so small and fast and close, and the drones are very fragile. Perhaps the hand grenade "bomber" types can be far enough up, but the FPV impactor types are right up in your face and have to fly at you to be effective.


I would be surprised if we didn't eventually see something like you describe. I could see it protecting bases, trenches, encampments, etc.

But I think an open question is if it could be made portable enough to tote around on the battlefield.


4-legged robot mule with ordinance. I mean, they are already putting rifles on the robot dogs.
