Wired’s Danger Room points out a blue-sky video produced by the Air Force Research Laboratory (hosted by the Chicago Tribune). The video points out that micro-UAVs not only have reconnaissance abilities, but offensive capability as well. This fulfills the “precision application of force at a distance” in my previous post.
The sticking point, in my view, is how to power these devices. Of course, in the right circumstances beamed power might suffice. Or maybe anti-matter, but that’s a topic for another post.
So, what are the countermeasures? Might be worth thinking about.
