Defense against UAV's

This is an article on the $100 laptop. Note the CONNECTIVITY details.
The $100 features true peer to peer. Is this relevant to UAV defense. I
believe this, and indeed COTS in general to be.

A UAV with a LMG - set a thief to catch a thief! will need this degree
of connectivity. I have looked at connectivity from the standpoint of
the software designer, who does not have to worry about where a thread
is executed. If some links are jammed it will go through other links.

A UAV needs things that a laptop does not, such as an autopilot.
However it does not need an inferface as it is relying on the user
interfaces at base.

Remember - The $100 is NOT science fiction. It is very much a near term
project.
