Hmm, why not just put the blanket on four posts attached to the vehicle?
Munitions could be timed to explode based off of average distance? With the drones they could randomize a larger amount.
That’s a lot of extra mechanical complexity and expense for a security blanket. It seems like the kind of brilliant-on-paper idea that wouldn’t last five minutes in actual deployment.
I could totally use a flying blanket this winter.
Maybe this will work at night or under lots of clouds or something but during the day even a satellite is going to be able to see a bunch of square shadows moving across the landscape.
So, basically, it’s a flying “shoot here” banner for high value targets. If a target doesn’t have one, it’s probably not worth anything.
Lets hope there’s absolutely no wind on the battlefield.
Flying and screaming!
Hmm I wonder what’s under that blanket…
