Just like the lights in this room are blinking on and off right now, but we can't see them.
And that's only at 60 hertz.
We're at a much, much faster repetition rate that we're doing.
So we can basically go around this whole
60 degrees by 60 degrees and fill the sky with pulsating electromagnetic interference energy, and a drone anywhere in that big sort of section of the sky would fall.
Exactly.
To the physical system, like if you were on the drone, like a little guy inside the drone driving it, you would just see, no matter if you were here, here, here, you would see this electromagnetic pulsating wave just hitting you and hitting you and hitting you, like as if you took that spotlight that you made the reference to and just had a guy that in a one second could just just run that spotlight across the whole sky.
Shit.
How does it detect the drones?
It does it through a combination of radar and electro-optical and infrared.
So we have three bands of frequencies.
We have the radar, which goes out, and it's pretty high-frequency radar because it has to find these little drones as far distance as we can find them.
So we start with a 360-degree radar, and we're searching, and we're searching.
Or we're tapped into AndroLattice, and Lattice is doing the searching and then handing us, hey, we found something.
We're going to assign it to you.
But in the headed situation where we're doing everything, we search, we search about,
maybe a 10 kilometer to 20 kilometer space.
We see things way out as they're coming in.
And then soon as we see them, we're starting to move or position our system to be able to take the attack, but we're not firing until it gets in that kind of final sort of layer is where we fire, where we don't try to hit them way out at 10 miles or five miles.
It's in that last sort of engagement zone.
