When killer robots are outlawed, only rogue nations will have massive drone armies.
An ideal outcome here would be if counter-drones have an advantage over drones, but it's hard to see how this could obtain when counter-counter-drones should be in a symmetrical position over counter-drones. A second-best outcome would be no asymmetrical advantage of guerilla drone warfare, where the wealthiest nation clearly wins via numerical drone superiority combined with excellent enemy drone detection.
...you know, at some point the U.S. military is going to pay someone $10 million to conclude what I just wrote and they're going to get it half-wrong. Sigh.
Gain enough status to make that someone likely to be you.
That is not how government contracts work.
