the drones of the future are going to have to byoi, "bring your own internet" since the battlefield is going to evolve in a way where wireless will be impossible. and so a line of sight and point to point laser internet is going to be a thing, since: area-denying every kind of known comms into and out of a situation, is a total counterpoint against everything except ai powered drones that don't need communication to do their work onsite. for now frequency hopping ability is the game, but eventually all frequencies will be jammed, and you're to have to make connect the dots with towers, if you want internet in/out. and these relays will have to auto-dig in under 10 feet of earth when under threat to make it hard for enemies to take out a relay.
