Drone Diplomacy
I have often wondered why we don't talk to enemy drones? Drones are radio controlled, so why not? It is not necessary to shoot them from the ski with an expensive missile. A low cost powerful radio negotiation could stop them much more effectively. We could instruct the drone to either blow itself up, in the air, or return to its base and blow itself up there. I prefer the second choice.
We are presently capable of long range radio transmissions. We employ radio telescopes to travel the known universe. This is presently a distance of 93 Billion Light Years. The known universe grows right along with telescope technology. We have scanners capable of instantly reading the frequency of a radio transmission and transmitters capable of overpowering the drone's normal control.
There is nothing I have described here that is beyond present technology. The radio transmitters could be located on land, on the sea or in space. Any first world nation is capable of this defense. The order to self destruct could be sent to drones waiting for deployment. I believe that I am spelling out the end of drone warfare. They can once again be RC model airplanes, used by young technology nerds. Harmless, but great fun for the users.
Ask yourself, “Why isn't this the present method of ridding the world of drones?” One, the militaries of our planet like to blow things up. This is their mindset. Two, it would greatly decrease military spending. We know that the industrial military complex would not like that. Three, it would greatly reduce civilian casualties. I'm not sure who would oppose that, but there must some who would or the damn drones wouldn't exist in the first place.
