Could the same tech be used to disrupt missile and guided ordinance guidance systems? Midnight Writer Oct 2022 #3

It depends on the guidance GregariousGroundhog Oct 2022 #6

I would think it would be dependent on the range of the signal that disrupts it. mitch96 Oct 2022 #7

It's possible to interfere with anything that is being guided by and/or controlled by an external source.

A missile could theoretically be be given incorrect GPS/GLONASS signals or have them jammed, but nothing can be done about inertial navigation using onboards gyroscopes.

If drones contain classified information and are so easily brought down, there should be an automatic self destruct mechanism.
