Velcroman1 writes ‘Taking a cue from the Terminator films, the US Navy is
developing unmanned [0]drones that network together and operate in
’swarms.’ Predator drones have proven one of the most effective — and
most controversial — weapons in the military arsenal. And now, these
unmanned aircraft are talking to each other. Until now, each drone was
controlled remotely by a single person over a satellite link. A new tech,
demoed last week by NAVAIR, adds brains to those drones and allows one
person to control a small squadron of them in an intelligent,
semiautonomous network.’
