>The autonomous disposable paper drone flies like a glider, meaning it has no motor on board. It does have a small computer, as well as sensors that are programed to adjust the aircraft’s control surfaces, like on its wings or rudder, that determine where the aircraft will travel and land.
Does anyone have any experience developing for things like this? Reading this article it reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend about how "busy" the drone space might get, and how we spend (probably too much) time writing simple control scripts in kOS. How close is that to having real world applications?
- dogma1138 10y agoThis is in effect an unpowered loitering munition aka a gliding bomb just one that is made out of paper and possibly will carry something less explosive. We have these things in use, you mark your target and based on your altitude, speed and heading and atmospheric conditions the computer calculates the release envelope and that's it. Guidance kits like SPICE or munitions like SDB or JSOW are very accurate and have quite a long range considering their size.
