It’s the future! they are already trying to put single-shot Barrett-like sniper rifles on very small UAV’s.
Verrrrry precise, no collateral damage, only the bad die.
GOOD STUFF...!!!
More: I mean that the weapon is on a chin pivot-turret, and there’s a camera, an operator, and so on. The platform is intricately stabilized, and the CEP supposedly is just 1/3 of the results gotten from a stabilized human shooter aiming from the same distance.
I’d suspect that because of Sat. delay paired with the need for high accuracy that the controller would have to give final trigger release over to the platform at the last instant in order to bring about a positive hit.
And that there is a battery of lawyers sitting right there, in the room, prolly...
The Lon Horiuchis of this world would be proud. Sadly in an Obama admin, things like these are far more likely to be used domestically than on some foreign battlefield.
Yeah its great stuff until its used against Americans.
