Unjammable fiber optic and AI controlled drones are making the threat cheaper, faster, and harder to stop. The problem is here now and it is accelerating.\nSentradel is a defense startup in San Francisco building autonomous, low cost kinetic turret systems designed to defeat Group 1 and FPV drone threats.
