Default Defense against UAV's

The idea is to take them out long before your last line of defense.

Taking them out early means missiles and/or aircraft. Both will have
problems locking on low signature slow flying targets. And both can be
overwhelmed/depleted by swarm attacks..


So maybe the solution is to suround the fleet with a swarm of
cheap friendly semi-autonomous UAVs to detect and shoot
down approaching hostile UAVs with a cheap weapon like
a light machine gun.
