Kris Osborn
The US Army’s Rapid Equipping Force is fast-tracking new technology to war that can track, jam and destroy attacking enemy drones as a way to respond to an explosive amount of new combat threats,
The systems, called “Drone Busters,†use Electronic Warfare (EW) to interfere with the GPS signal or Command and Control technology of enemy drones, disabling them or throwing them off course.
“We are assisting currently deployed and front line forces to disrupt and deter drone operations on a much larger scale,†Col. Joe Bookard, Director of the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force, told Warrior in an interview.
