    I have no idea, but I have some supposition: no it won’t work.

    Like others have said warships used to do something similar.

    The naive idea is a WWII concept: that the hard lines make it more difficult to see your heading from a distance.

    The problem is drones don’t “see” the way people do.

      We could trick the drones, they would be reprogrammed to be untripped and maybe a couple months or less I’m sure.

      Also beyond not seeing the way people do, the drones are constantly doing range finding and tracking, so they can adjust their trajectory on the fly. The WWI shells and torpedos didn’t do that.
