Saw an interesting video last evening discussing the USN's use of their fancy new laser on the USS Portland.
Also some VERY interesting discussion about drone swarm encounters off the coast of California in their OP Areas - the question of where the drones come from was left hanging - and it seems from the video as though they are NOT part of an exercise, rather, potentially state actors somehow deploying drones in USN training areas offshore.
Some very interesting info, some really good questions in the comments below the video.
My thoughts - is this an isolated situation? Was this a US Training exercise with the drones launched from a US ship or aircraft, or were these someone else's drones?
There's far more questions than answers.
How would/will the RCN deal with this when we encounter drone swarm technologies? Broad spectrum active jamming will probably work.
Some things to ponder.
