That would mean brute force code breaking to get through digital encription which is always changing.

Tatically it's a useless idea.

I put smashing the uplink in with 'killing the satelite'.

interference/spoofing is getting harder and harder, even on teh US DoD owned GPS system.

Possibly... Alternatively, plant yourself a couple spies to work from the control centre, waiting for the right time to come in to action.

I'm not saying it'd be easy... But if they were to manage it...

Have you stopped taking your lithium?

Should you not be on a cadet camp tonight as well?

Next you are going to tell me that you have devised an infiltration method that involves replacing all of a mans blood with tizer.

I'll go take some more lithium... In the meantime, tell me - you don't think losing control, through any method, is a concern?

Oh my god rampaging killer robots!

I suggest you make speed to an old cold war bunker in the desert before skynet launches an all out war on humanity.

Didn't Iran spoof an American UAV into landing in Iran recently?

It's not just aircraft either, IIRC the EOI for the next generation of Australian Hummers (or whatever they use) has been requested that they have the ability to convert them to unmanned. There are already test of MULEs to provide resuply and casevac.

Always need boots on the ground though...or will we?

I have on occasion wondered if a UAV fitted with an EMP generator might be of use. It would go aloft around a sensitive spot and when something came within range it would go systems down for half a second, generate an EM pulse and then systems up again.

Come to think of it how about a network of ground stations doing a similar job... Where's me calculator ...

Ignoring international commitments the Australians have a doctrine known as "continental defence" in case the Chinese come calling.

Bunkers and cache's of material spread out across the country in places that offer almost nothing what so ever in the means of water food or shelter for the enemy. Unmanned vehicles is a program that has also been explored by the Quinteq chaps as well but they aren't an answer to large scale war fighting that leads to the rapid degradation of technology.

Never trust anything that takes batteries.
