They also use radio freqs to send and receive video and flight controls.
A WIFI freq jammer should be simple enough to develop. If they focus on the freq's needed to transmit video, the drone is useless?? I suspect the current rage for WIFI micro-mini cameras may be key to the technology being used??
The freq use by the drone controller is the other leg to jam, but if you get the video first???

Looks like the future in now. If this is a TED talk, bet DARPA delivered on these 3-5 years ago.
Based on the attached TED talk, it looks like they will be autonomous, w/ artificial intelligence, so there is nothing to jam, capture, or interrupt. Mini-killers with small amounts of explosive, enough to kill a target.....new way of war anyone ??
