DOGE has so far saved $24.5 billion - for the people. ​
 
DOGE: The Houthi are using anti-ship drones costing between $2,000 and $20,000 to attack commercial and military ships. Previously the USAF was using Sidewinders or AMRAAM missiles costing between $420K to $1M. Recently the USAF began using guided 70MM APWKS II air-to-air rockets that cost less than $20,000 each. We need to ensure that ALL of our military solutions are similarly cost efficient.

Yea, but the difference is that Sidewinder and AMRAAM missiles actually hit and destroy their targets almost all of the time while the Houthi ASM's get shot down or miss most of the time.

Technology does exist to jam drone controls electronically. Here's an overview of how this technology works and its applications:

How Drone Jamming Works:
  • Radio Frequency (RF) Jamming: Drones typically communicate with their controllers via RF signals. Jamming devices can emit strong signals on the same frequencies used by drones, overwhelming the drone's receiver with noise, making it unable to receive commands from the controller. The most common frequencies for drone control are around 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz for consumer drones, but military or specialized drones might use different bands.
  • GPS Jamming: Many drones rely on GPS for navigation. GPS jammers can block or interfere with the GPS signals, leading to confusion or loss of location data for the drone. Without GPS, the drone might enter a fail-safe mode, such as returning to its takeoff point or landing.
  • Signal Spoofing: Beyond jamming, there's also the capability to "spoof" signals, where false GPS or control signals are sent to mislead the drone into thinking it's somewhere else or to take control of its flight path.

Applications:
  • Security and Defense: Military and security forces use drone jammers to protect sensitive areas or events from unauthorized drone flights, which could be used for espionage, attacks (like kamikaze drones), or privacy invasion.
  • Airport Security: Airports deploy drone jammers or systems like DroneShield to prevent drones from entering restricted airspace, which could pose a significant risk to air traffic.
