We can do it for them in a few hours with our ultimate drone, a Cessna 172 with a human pilot. Flying for many hours we can go hundreds of miles to the remote site, shoot it and be home in a day and even fly sites like an Air Force base or in Class B airspace.
We will need to hire some commercial pilots soon.

You are right on the money. As you know I worked in the commercial UAS space (sold the company).
The FAA will eventually come to grips with UAS in the airspace but that is an unknown.
Concerning "pulse guns" you are correct - they work really well against unhardened, small UAS. A hardened UAS doesn't care. It is the next wave in UAS technology, however.
What really scares the military are the foam RC jets that can fly at speeds over 200mph. Cut the engine a mile out from the target, you won't see or hear then.
