This will last exactly as long as it takes somebody to fly a drone into the side of the White House. Not any kind of special drone, just some idiot trying to get a cool shot for their YouTube channel.
If said work was more than a year ago then it is significantly outdated.
Watch perun’s videos covering drone warfare in Ukraine it gives a good overview of what has been tried and its effective.
The us government absolutely can shoot down a couple hundred dollar drone its just a matter of if they need to use a half a million dollar intercepted to do it.
Okay that sounds cool and in my brain it’s like having the turrets and starcraft spin around to shoot stuff down, but in real life I know it’s just an EMF jamming field, if that much.
It would still need to be a turret with a focused beam as drone controls operate on the same frequency range as wifi and bluetooth so if you still want those to work in the building you can’t just fill the air with enough noise to block a drone. And if you want to stop one on auto-pilot you need to scramble GPS signals which would be a very bad idea when nearest airport just 3 miles away with one one the runways aligned directly with the White House. And even that’s all just assuming it’s actually using standard frequencies and not something custom.

We might get a video of the white house’s defence systems shooting it down instead.

Ahh I’m sorry for doubting you.
I was under the impression argument for the drones not being impeded in Ukraine was an economic one.
Civdiv on yt has some very interesting content on the subject.

Unidentified Drone - identify yourself or we will shoot you down with feathers!
/operator/ feathers? Dammit, is there even a drone there or is that also a hallucination.
Hello friend…
I see you…
Acquiring target…
Good night.

So while anti-drone systems don’t go BRRRT, they can still end up looking like something that could.
It’s a catapult of Trump steaks.
DJI is about to get banned anyways, so they just don’t care anymore
