China could challenge US forces with large-scale swarms of drones in a conflict, a new report warns.

The US hasn't developed counter-drone systems at the scale and speed needed, the authors said.

Layered defenses involving a variety of countermeasures are needed, they wrote.

In a war with China, US forces could be overwhelmed by swarms of drones unless the military more aggressively invests in the systems needed to stop them, a new report warns.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
