Air Force releases video of tiny flybots that kill targets

[green73]

The U.S. Air Force is developing tiny unmanned drones that will fly in swarms, hover like bees, crawl like spiders and even sneak up on unsuspecting targets and execute them with lethal precision.

The Air Vehicles Directorate, a research arm of the Air Force, has released a computer-animated video outlining the the future capabilities of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). The project promises to revolutionize war by down-sizing the combatants.

'MAVs will become a vital element in the ever-changing war-fighting environment and will help ensure success on the battlefield of the future,' the narrator intones.

'Unobtrusive, pervasive, lethal - Micro Air Vehicles, enhancing the capabilities of the future war fighter.'

Hah hah...I recall having a couple of epic online debates with people, right here, who basically said I was insane for saying exactly this.

Bet your ass, if they are announcing it, it is already here, or very close.

The future is fail...

How about personal emp generators? Something you could wear and it would fry everything within 10 feet? Is that possible?
