Could you build this?
No Anti-drone maritime defense depends on radar, sensors, RF and acoustic detection, interceptor hardware, and defense procurement and regulation, none of which can be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: A real system would combine multi-sensor fusion (radar, EO/IR, acoustic, and underwater sensing), real-time tracking, and effectors such as jammers or interceptors. It requires hardware engineering, naval and defense domain experts, government certification, and field testing.
