Unstoppable “Unjammable” Drones: How Fiber-Optic Technology is Revolutionizing Warfare and Beyond

Unstoppable “Unjammable” Drones: How Fiber-Optic Technology is Revolutionizing Warfare and Beyond

Fiber-optic drones transmit control commands and live video through a physical fiber tether, making them jam-proof and radio-silent. There are two main categories: Tethered Power Drones (aerial elevators such as AT&T’s Flying COW) that draw power from the ground while carrying a fiber data link, and Fiber-Optic Guided Drones (free-ranging FPVs) that carry a 5–20 km spool of cable for guided missions. Typical fiber spools range from 5 km to 20–30 km, which defines a hard operational range and creates drag and snag risks behind the drone. Russia was the first to deploy fiber-guided FPV drones in combat, with the
