I recall it as somewhat similar to “Independence Day.” The main thing I remember is the aliens deployed these autonomous flying portable band saws.

Thanks, but nah. Definitely never saw “Battleship.”
It’s much older than that, but maybe you saw it on TV more recently, but Screamers?
Definitely not Screamers, as I’ve seen that a number of times. (Jennifer Rubin ) Similar device, but in the unknown movie, they flew and (I think) controlled by bigger ships.
When you say SyFy you mean the cable channel, right? Because I seem to remember something like that in one of the Marvel superhero movies (maybe Avengers: Infinity War?) but that’s probably not it if you’re looking for a TV movie.
Pretty sure it was SyFy. That’s about the only channel I watch that has direct-to-video sci-fi movies.
Maybe this:
Ding! Ding! Ding! That’s it.
