Air Force's Flying Assassin Robot Enters Final Development Stage
[ Via: Popular Science ]
Missile strikes by Predators, Reapers, or other aerial drones usually result in messy explosions on the ground. Now the never-ending but perhaps futile quest to attain zero collateral damage may take another step forward, with a small micro-drone missile that can kill individual targets from afar. A new $1.18-million, Phase-III Air Force contract (Phase III is typically the final development phase) for the “Anubis” drone has been awarded to the firm Aerovironment, Aviation Week’s Ares Defense Blog reports.. . . Robot planes. Robot assassins. Soon they'll have a cute little robot that can process trash and eventually fall in love with a robot from the future. — GP
