Killer drone ‘hunted down a human target’ without being told to

“Do a YouTube search for “Drone Swarms”. We already have tactics being tested.”

I have researched the subject. The big company solutions are too big and heavy for infantry. The solutions are oriented towards bases. And, those solutions assume, on average, that you don’t need to deploy them while simultaneously protecting yourself from other non drone threats.

There’s a huge asymmetry in drones vs. anti-drone technology. ISIS deployed drones they bought off Amazon and then modified for battlefield use. So, call it $1500 per drone. The solutions cost a lot more and have limited utility in most battlefield situations.

At the present time, the US could probably lock up the usable electromagnetic space over an area, thus knocking out any cheap, remotely controlled drones. But we probably can’t handle the self flying models that are already possible.

I thought that symbol was an Adobe logo a lot first. For a second I thought they moved beyond software.

Looks like a pretty stable platform in the video here:

I see what you mean.

True, the legs handle the recoil. Nice design!

Gun looks mean, but how well does it handle recoil?"

Unless there is a specific target, where only single shot is needed...for max terror effect set the guns in the same position, but horizontal, like ancient Hero's steam engine.

... and get 360° spray around central axis of drone...git 'er done.

Reminds me of the weapon from the movie “Runaway”.🤔

Shooting skeet is going to have one heck of a comeback on military bases.

Bkmk

Coincidentally, the drone’s name is Hillary.

[rockrr]

That was funny. Thanks!

[Scrambler Bob]

This thing better have some recoil compensation.

Affordable autonomous drones enable a thrilling new hobby: urban drone wars. Democrat downtowns mostly evacuate on Sundays. America lovers could hold hunt-from-home team competitions to program and fly drones through metro forests (after church of course). The drones could be limited to rubber bullet machine guns and rubber tipped arrows, for now.

Horror movies start that way...
