I just hope these disposable drones go for a lot less than $500,000

Golly, give a slow guided missile a new name and suddenly it is all new again.

I remember a sci fi book years ago about a weapon similar to this. I think the title was”Butcherbird”

4.4 pounds so very small and hard to see; electric so very quiet, but can’t have a lot of energy storage given the small mass and probably no loitering time. I’m guessing launch and immediately glide to to a nearby target. Controlled glide all the way to the target — doesn’t help one bit to run away. Range of what? 1/2 mile? This thing sounds real nasty.

I read about those in Fahrenheit 451.

Whatever it takes to make sure our guys make it home.

The drones in Phantasm were cool too...frontal lobotomy with a 0.500 Craftsman bit.

I’m still waiting for the Dominator program: Basically a B-2 full of dozens of similar drones dumped over a city, allowing for precision takeouts of dozens of targets in a few minutes.

The Switchblade, however, is touted as a way to avoid killing bystanders.
"Flying quietly at high speed the Switchblade delivers its onboard explosive payload with precision while minimizing collateral damage,"Featured on the front cover of Hitman International

A miniature "kamikaze" drone designed to quietly hover in the sky before dive-bombing and slamming into a human target will soon be part of the US Army's arsenal, officials say. This is the beginning of Hunter-Seeker technology. In a few hundred years, it will look like this.
