They are talking about building 2,000 drones, 30ft long. That they will be piloted by AI is interesting, but not as remarkable as the fact that they only cost 15% of what a predator drone costs, and will be the cheapest drone of this type the Air Force fields by at least a factor of 3. There are no plans to arm them (yet), instead to make them do recon autonomously and report the results to humans. And the government is currently saying that when they do carry weapons, a human will have to authorize every use.
