How do you "dodge" airburst ammunition? Can your drone instantaneously change direction at the speed of an explosion? What the hell am I reading here?

This seems to aim by calculating the trajectory of the target. How will it fare if the target is flown in first person perspective by a human in an unpredictable way?

It’s airburst ammunition which can be fired faster and travels faster than a human can react. The airburst is timed to trigger at the calculated intersection of trajectories (or somewhere in that neighbourhood), significantly improving your chances of scoring a hit even with a high circular error probable.
