only 40,000 dollars..?
Gyad dayum....Give me a little airhogs piece of **** for 40 bucks and Ill slap on a little camera on that bitch... save some money
well military hardware is designed to be rugged and durable, and it takes a lot of time and money to figure out how to make it rugged. it's not some little RC plane that they took off of a toys r us shelf, it took some serious R&D.
Considering the US militairy frequently fires of 90k Javelin missiles to destroy a single target, i think 40k on a reusable item, that might actually save some lives with good intel might not be that bad.
Not to be rude, but this site looks like a giant hoax.
18 grams is way to few for this size.
GPS + Steerable Cam + 2 Rotors + Remote control + Chipset to control everything
There is no way to get all that + A battery strong enough for 25 minutes of mission time.
Also they call it inaudible. There is no way a drone is inaudible. Rotors are loud as **** . Especially with a smaller wingspan as they have to spin faster an create more noise. Like fans in you pc: The bigger they are the quiter they get.
I am not sure any more. But is looks suspicious as **** to me.
Also the "silent"-claim got disproved by this video. Ok a warzone is loud, but I would recognize this thing within 5 meters around me.
yes but the idea is not to come next to you.... plus compared to quads and other drones is relatively silent.. for something that weighs 18 grams to fly, you don't need a jet engine
You have 2 of those, but are you flying them back to you, revealing your position to the enemy, searching for them after the fight or just leaving them behind?
Makes the weekend a lot more peaceful.
One more tip: Cut down the news. Seriously, cut down the news. Only once a week and the life gets an awful lot better. News make you sick. Test it.
i can give it a go you know... offline gaming, warm and good food, silence...
now just to convince my gf to stop calling for the weekend without she beheading me for not wanting to talk to her or something like that
I'm gonna have to agree. Regardless of whether it's technologically feasible, I called the phone number provided and did not even get an automated answering service.
Did a little more research, and if this is really hoax they put a awful lot effort in it.
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe. but the claims still sounds pretty unrealistic
That's cool but there are even cooler ones in field testing right now.
Essentially they are bombs attached to heli-drones and they fly in flocks autonomously and then carpet bomb targets.
theres also ones that get dropped from planes that are intelligent versions of that jericho missile from Iron Man.
even cooler still they are working on drones that function like the ones from Ghost Recon, allowing soldiers to view heat signatures and mark targets using a HUD attached to their helmet, essentially allowing them to see through walls, or entire buildings.
and thats just the **** that isnt classified out the ass, you can always assume special forces like SEAL teams have access to even better **** .
modern warfare is ******* awesome from a spectators POV, prbly sucks to be a soldier though.
