A simpler solution for defense is to jam the signal, and hope the drone
doesn't have enough onboard AI to finish the mission.  It may be able to
autopilot without signal, but shooting it down should be simpler.  (At
least until there's good enough AI that it almost doesn't need a human
controller.)

The military has bigger budgets and a general environment predisposed
toward security rather than convenience and cheapness.  "Make as much money
as you can" as a primary mission means not implementing levels of security
in excess of what would be profitable.
