FS-LIDS is which type of CUAS?

Explanation:
CUAS solutions are grouped by effect (kinetic vs non-kinetic) and by how they’re operated (crewed vs autonomous). FS-LIDS defeats drones using non-kinetic methods—methods that don’t physically strike the aircraft or destroy it—and it requires a human operator to oversee and initiate the engagement. So it fits non-kinetic/crew. It isn’t a kinetic system, since no physical intercept is used, and it isn’t a purely autonomous EW-only solution, which would operate without a human in the loop.
