You don't think neural networks are going to be a factor in drone wars? How far out do you think this prediction will hold?

Most drones are controlled by humans, so they don't need neural networks. Larger drones still don't use anything too advanced, as specialized neural networks actually don't need beefy hardware.

Maybe this will change in future, but the US still has enough semiconductor manufacturing capacity to produce a few million chips for drones.
