Terrifyingly fast battlefield adaptation. Give it 2 years, and closed-loop (non-remote-controlled) drones will be autonomously targeted via AI. Send it GPS coordinate, then it activates “find a target” mode. I don’t see any way we DON’T get to that outcome eventually.
Everything is heading towards making the Screamers movie a reality :o
Five years into the war, Alliance scientists created and deployed Autonomous Mobile Swords (AMS) — artificially intelligent self-replicating machines that hunt down and kill N.E.B. soldiers. Nicknamed “Screamers” after their signature high-pitched noise, they are efficient at killing any target with a heartbeat, so Alliance soldiers wear “tabs” that disguise their heartbeats, thus rendering them invisible to the machines. A fragile stalemate is in effect between the two exhausted, poorly-supplied, and undermanned armies.
Tbf, currently many drones are run by fiber optics to be protected against jamming.

They are much more expensive to produce though as I understand it so jammers are still a necessity to counter the cheaper ones.
