The era of remote control won't last too long though because of signal jamming. Autonomous systems that don't need constant control by a human operator is the next logical progression.

- inetknght 4y agoThere are a myriad of ways to work through signal jamming.Something designed to work in a battlefield can utilize one or several methods. Most civilian devices aren't designed to do that because it's usually more expensive. There are also nebulous arguments about hindering law enforcement (but also counter-arguments about criminals eg "if you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns").
- tomatotomato37 4y agoThe problem with jamming is that in order to be effective the transponder has to be very "loud", which means it can be destroyed by a missile which is built to target the "loudest" object in front of it. Active radar can partially avoid these systems by turning off during inactivity, but jamming has to be continuous to really be effective
