From the article: "It boasts a stealthy low visual profile and the ability to fly even in strong winds of more than 50mph. It was the only nano-UAV able to cope with the uncompromising weather during a recent Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) event hosted by the Ministry of Defence’s Future Capability Group."

> It boasts a stealthy low visual profile The one in the article's picture looks like a flying brick. A lot of money to be made in this field - there's a low barrier to entry in the market.

  The problem as I see it is that many, many people have the skills to compete, but not the capital. And often are working so much that they don't have spare energy to invest every weekend for years to build an MVP. I know some will say that sounds like making excuses, but the examples I've seen of entrepreneurs have been people who haven't actually had to work very hard at their day jobs. They aren't totally burned out at the end of the day. I wish I knew a way to fix this situation. The economy could operate far more efficiently than it is, and that would be better for all of us.

    Your comment should be made into article or at least maybe some question on economic stack-overflow. I too don't know solution yet. There are many people who have an idea, but many of those ideas will just fail because it's not sustainable or there are better ways already. The biggest problem is discovering those best ideas from noise. Some dedicated think tanks of specialists disseminating ideas would be best, but currently there is simply too much noise to filter.

"Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) event hosted by the Ministry of Defence’s Future Capability Group." I wonder who was allowed to attend... And how those were selected....
