Drone Wars: South Korean Drones Prepare to Take Out North Korean Drones

And so began history’s first autonomous all-robot war. IEEE has the story:

With the news that North Korea has been flying camera-equipped spy drones, South Korea has begun to develop ways of countering that technology. Firing guns or missiles would be an option, of course, but another way of taking on enemy drones is with drones of your own.

Funded by a South Korean defense research institute, a group of roboticists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has been testing out ways of using autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to locate, intercept, and disable other UAVs.

Wondering if they know SkyJack.

And I didn’t know Skyjack either. Thought it was only a matter of time, but it already happened.
