Pentagon readies micro-drone swarm deployments

High over Alaska last summer, The Pentagon experimented with new, secret prototypes: micro-drones that can be launched from the flare dispensers of moving F-16s and F/A-18 fighter jets. Canisters containing the tiny aircraft descended from the jets on parachutes before breaking open, allowing wings on each drone to swing out and catch the wind. Inch-wide propellers on the back provided propulsion as they found one another and created a swarm. Do you feel safer knowing about these, or do you believe they may be used to further spy on Amerikans?
