Could you build this?
No EDDA is physical counter-drone hardware requiring real-time computer vision, edge robotics, mechanical actuation, and defense-grade kinetic or jamming systems.
What it would actually take: Requires embedded C++/Rust running on edge computing hardware (like NVIDIA Jetson) interfaced with high-speed optical/infrared sensors or radar. The system needs sub-millisecond object tracking, predictive ballistics, physical robotics actuation, and counter-measure deployment. Building this requires deep aerospace, mechatronics, and defense systems engineering teams along with field testing capabilities.
