I think the bigger threat is making war too clean.
Lee, the traitorous Virginian, said something along the lines of " it is good that war is so terrible, lest we become too find of it"
This type of thing just makes war too easy.
What will it matter to the us to go to war, when only the enemy loses its sons.

My input would be, what happens if some one sets off a very large EMP?

[Gaston]

These things are probably protected against EMP...

But drones are a real incitation to use EMP as a preventive defense ! after this, drone users will complain, and say they are doing nothing wrong... hypocrysy !

[Kilo]

No, these drones can't be hacked.

... like anti-theft devices for cars in the 90s, WEP for WLAN, Bluetooth in general, Simatic S7, the Washington Post etc. pp.
There's an endless list of formerly presumed "unhackable" things which got hacked shortly thereafter, so let me ask you this: How much money would you put on your statement?

If someone tries to hack them, they close any conection to the exterior, dead antennas. After that, trying to hack them is like trying to get a Bluetooh connection with a Nokia 3310

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

So hacking them is the better way to shoot down them?

[kaxII]

So if it gets hacked its useless I.e can't be controlled?

[Typhoon Ib]

if it gets hacked, and then closes ALL communications...
how do you want to control it, eh!
"but i have brogrammed it to automatically go home in that case"

yea, sure. lol...

you have to shoot 50 missiles at it to shoot it down. (stealth, chaff flares, frequency jamming etc etc etc)

i wanna see that

Someone should change the title too " A good day" as this is the future & will save pilots lives.
And watch this as it is coming -LINK #at=209

[Kilo]

So if it gets hacked its useless I.e can't be controlled?

It can't be controlled in that case. It starts flying itself and taking decisions on its own.

[Typhoon Ib]

...so you have understood nothing.

it saves 1 pilot life , and money for training.

but these drones will be controllable by whoever is fastest to get access to them. (google stuxnet)
and then cost dozens of civilian lives.
as well as military lives.

you deploy drones over enemy territory, the enemy will take over the drones and do funny things with it.

good day for military aviation indeed!

[SAS~Storebror]

If someone tries to hack them, they (...)

Which would assume that the drone knows that it's being hacked, which is exactly the wrong assumption.
This would in contrast mean that the drones are useless from the very beginning. A group of hackers could easily turn 99% of them into useless bunch of metal by just driving a deliberately stupid "attack" which would put those drones out of control, just to drive the real attack against the remaining 1% to do with them whatever they wanna do.
