Echodyne metamaterials mini-radars scaled for mass counter-drone fire control

The post highlights rapid battlefield-driven adoption of compact, low-cost metamaterials AESA-like radars (EchoGuard/EchoShield) used for short-range drone detection and gun fire-control cueing. The novelty is the shift toward mass-deployable radar panels (book/suitcase-sized) enabling many distributed C-UAS nodes rather than a few expensive air-defense radars, including integration to turn existing guns/turrets into anti-drone systems.
