In the future...

All of your peaceful science drones (just the same as attack drones) will have to be equipped with countermeasures such as flares and chaff, to defend against the primitive jury rigged SAM systems and anti-aircraft batteries the Forest People of 2056 will use to shoot down anything that intrudes upon their domain, years after the Great War (No, For Real This Time ZOMG) destroys half the planet and now it's the Hunger Games future they have planned for us.
