Extend This Imagination to Wartime Threats

The Army effort to protect planes during take off and landing is laudable. But I'm still pounding my head in frustration.

Excellent!

ERDC is working on prototypes of unmanned ground vehicles, or UGVs, that can be deployed across airfields to scare off birds and other problematic wildlife that could do millions of dollars’ worth of damage, or even threaten aircrew lives by flying into the engine. 

Now do protection against special forces.

Or small drone attacks.

Or any other sort of attack.

Carry on.
