The "using magnets for wireless data transfer" part still doesn't fit very well. In using electromagnets to wirelessly transfer data you're essentially saying that the internal components of the Drones use radio waves to transmit the data, as they all belong in the electromagnetic spectrum. And IIRC, Radio is something that gets heavily disrupted by EMPs. Now, if the drones used optic circuits (still has "wires", but not the electrical kind) or wireless quantum links, I think it'd be a better fit.

There is no Radio waves used. Look up the term Magnetic Processor to see what I mean. SenHai (talk)

Ok, now I can see what you mean. Assuming this is a finalized form of the experimental tech being reserached today, I can see it working. From what I can find, the magnets would still be vulnerable to "thermal effects" and "stray electromagnetic fields". If the tech you have can make the internal magnets immune to the influence of the Drone's magnetic shielding, then go for it. Mikethor007 (talk) 14:53, 30 April 2013 (MDT)
