    For communication you can command it before it get jammed. Automatic mode could either have a target already or find one alone (although this one might be risky).

    If you can designate the target while the drone is controlled, then it can direct itself with its own sensors like a missile.

      how do you navigate drone in such case? good inertial navigation is expensive and not precise enough unaugmented. GPS will be jammed. TERCOM? i haven’t heard of it being used for cheap drones. what you’re talking about is basically how javelin tracks a target, but this uses some hefty image recognition and is harder than you think

        Well, I thought it was something that deserved a news you know.

        And I’m pretty sure you can have very accurate inertial positioning, and other sensors can help. At least for a short time.
