"The way we envision it is, there would be a bunch of these sent out in
a swarm," said Greg Parker, who helps lead the research project at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton. "If we know there's a
possibility of bad guys in a certain building, how do we find out? We
think this would fill that void."
In essence, the research seeks to miniaturize the Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle drones used in Iraq and Afghanistan for surveillance and
reconnaissance.
The next generation of drones, called Micro Aerial Vehicles, or MAVs,
could be as tiny as bumblebees and capable of flying undetected into
buildings, where they could photograph, record, and even attack
insurgents and terrorists.
