There is probably a lot of high tech jamming and EW equipment used by the secret service
They saw a shooter climbing on a roof and were like: hah, that's interesting. And now you're telling me the use some high tech equipment to prevent assassination by drones. Riiiight.
Get it going on a ballistic trajectory out of range of the target and then it doesn't matter if it gets jammed.
This sounds like artillery with extra steps.
There is no report when you launch a drone, unlike when you fire a mortar. Also, flying a drone is a lot safer and more consistent than trying to fire and aim a homemade mortar.
that is called a missile, not a drone. no consumer uav are doing what you are suggesting, and different uav respond to jamming in a huge variety of ways.
I know most consumer drones land automatically if they lose connection. Anyone that is trying to raw dog a plot like this with an unmodified drone they pulled off the shelf from Best Buy is a special type of idiot.
You're right that it is a stationary target, probably doable by image recognition, even with GPS jamming. Still, bit more sophistication required than just strapping a grenade to a dji.
Ai copilot? Wouldn't do much against an emp, I suppose.
But you could use an optical guided drone. Oh wait it's a TOW. We're using TOWs again.
