Swarms of Killer Drone Terminators developed by the military



Air Force releases terrifying video of swarms of tiny "Hunter Killer Drones" that can can hover, stalk and even kill targets
  • Another drone type soars like a pigeon unobtrusively on a power line to observe a surveillance target with a camera.


The military is developing Killer Drone Terminators that will fly in swarms.  Combine that with the self-thinking Terminators already developed by the military and you get one giant clusterfuck.

Building Terminators.  Yes, humans are that fucking stupid.

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

The project, which is based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, was revealed in the March issue of the National Geographic magazine.

Air Force officials said they have already produced tiny remote-control prototypes - but they consume so much power that can only operate for a few minutes. Researchers estimate that it will take several years of advances in battery technology to make the designs feasible.
.
Still, the Air Force has a clear concept of what it hopes to accomplish with the program.
.
The promotional video begins with a swarm of tiny drones be dropped on a city from a passing plane.
.
The drones will work in concert to patch together a wide, detailed view of the battlefield - singling out individual targets without losing sight of the broader scene.
.
'Data will be communicated among the MAVs to enable real time, reliable decision-making and to provide an advanced overall picture for other platforms or operators,' the Air Force says.
.
As the drones fall, they begin to fly - not like planes, but like insects. High frequency flapping wings allow the drones to hover and maneuver in tight spaces.
.
The military has already produced a drone patterned after a hawk moth that can flap its wings 30 times a second. However, the activity exhausts the drone's tiny battery in just a few minutes, according to National Geographic.
.
Another drone type soars like a pigeon and perches unobtrusively on a power line to observe a surveillance target with a camera.
.
The Air Force is working on technology that will allow the drones to steal electricity from power cables and other sources - so they can continue to operate for days or weeks on end.






15 people were arrested at the gate to Hancock Airbase in Syracuse, N.Y., where they held large banners and signs protesting the military's use of hunter-killer drones. In April, anti-drone activists held a publicly announced march and were preemptive arrested before reaching the base.
