Much of the pub-licized fear over the expansion of drone warfare and recon-naissance is not distress at the collateral damage in Paki-stan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere but rather the veryreal fear that we in the United States and United States-like environs have no native way to defend ourselves fromthem or their operators.However, as those who depended on castle wallsdiscovered against Ottoman artillery and as the finesthorsemen discovered during trench warfare, no invincibleforce of arms stays that way for long. Architecture againstdrones is not just a science-fiction scenario but a contempo-rary imperative. Such creations are not needed for theJohn Connors but for the Abdurahman al-Awlakis. Thesuccessful check against the machines is not a daydreambut an inevitability, and the quicker more creative solu-tions are proposed, the more likely such answers can bedisseminated widely and kept from the patent-wieldinghands of some offshore-utopian type.

I didn't force myself to do more than skim, but it seems he forgot to include platforms for SAMs and AAA.

A lot of people, both in and out of the DoD, are in for a nasty surprise the first time we try to use current drone tactics against a non-cooperating enemy in actively denied airspace.
