The Drone Arms Race Has Begun
- ChuckMcM 14y agoWhile the prose is a bit breathless and sensational, the reality is that drone proliferation is a challenge. We haven't yet seen the improvised drone assassination but I expect we will within the next 18 to 24 months. Basically some lone wolf flying a quad-copter with a hand grenade attached or something similarly basic. The challenge is that it takes a lot of training and practice for a sniper to kill from 1000 yards out, but not so with a remote control drone. Not a "good" development in robotics for sure.
