US military drone swarms tests in major exercise

In the exercise of US military drone swarms test

The US military can be used widely and it is aggressive, low-cost technology to identify where there is a phase during military exercises first test squadrons of unmanned drones to consumer.Unmanned aircraft brought vigilant consumers, within reach of the army was already complex and expensive technology that can be stacked and was curious to see how much of a threat.So it's White Sands Missile Range Golf, New Mexico evaluation, Fort Bliss, Texas, which concluded earlier this month, Consumer quadcopters for network integration practice and brought octocopters.To assist in the evaluation of new technology used by the military, which during the process, the threat to simulate swarm drones have been deployed. Later, the army you might be able to take advantage of the same techniques that expanded the experiments to find what.These findings could be used against the enemy, so that unmanned aircraft deployed against our troops and unmanned drones amendment to protect the consumer protection system developed by the US military can lead to acceleration.

In one exercise, for example, try to find it in the defensive position of friendly troops to support the opposition forces with cameras on board a squadron of unmanned aircraft has been deployed.Military radar signature also disruptive to generate a piece of the atmosphere with a bunch of drones tested dumping."The consumer [drones] intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and can be used for distraction strategy has proved that, in the future, and has the ability to drop the sub-weapons," Barry Hatchett Simulation, Training and equipment for the Army program executive office said.On their own, without a significant risk of consumer unmanned aircraft or on the battlefield do not provide much in the way of a profit. It is much increased, and defended him against radio jamming, and easily can be brought down with a single shot from a rifle can not do, have a limited range.But cheap.Without the RQ-16 T-Hawk as a military pilot, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars - and for most people put them well out of reach.

But for a fraction of the price, and it's a time consuming a handful of unmanned drones could be deployed. When this happens, it becomes more feasible as a weapon.The program takes away much of the complexity of aviation, unmanned drones, because unlike the military compound, the consumer model of training is required for almost any use.Even at relatively low development cost and less concern about possible damage allows the deployment, gives them the disposability element.Force it represents a lot of very fast moving targets, because that can easily overwhelm small defensive position a bunch of small unmanned aerial vehicles successfully to repel worry.

He said that during this process, but they have to be used drones may be able to edit how the army insisted on testing.So even without improving consumer experiences, or time scale pilot of the aircraft that travel can be examined, and it can be used with night vision camera, and it can be modified to drop small bombs .Aircraft tight security around the buildings through security have proven quite capable of flying drones. Aircraft, smuggling has been the White House and the Office of the Prime Minister of Japan on both the roof garden courtyards crashed without consumer pilot flew and flew to London attractions and major football matches.

It is also becoming more popular, some companies already drones can spot but not the ability to shoot the commercial aircraft detection systems have developed without drones.Used on the battlefield to detect and control drones flying in an effort to spot and raises the stakes."It's an effort to stay ahead of the bad guys in the ongoing saga of the first step," Hatchett said. "We have a lot to do, but we now have blocks and move forward."
