We must understand in the future that our enemies will be using UAV Technologies against us. These UAVs will come in all sorts of sizes, in swarms and maybe cross-category technologies; half missile-half UAV, part balloon-part UAV, Organic models-part bird? When dealing with a UAV that flies like a bird, butterfly, bumble bee or bat and is that size or smaller, it may be nearly impossible to hit. This means as these UAV technologies get closer to reality and use in the future battlespace they will be very effective and dangerous. These UAVs may have bio-stingers, cameras giving away troop locations or even come in massive swarms and overwhelm our positions. We may even design these build them and use them in the United States Military, don’t think some of the brilliant DARPA engineers have not thought about it.
I propose we build and design guidance systems, which can track these flying organic look-alikes. Most birds, fish and other organic type species use similar patterns which are the most efficient to conserve their energy. Many follow the Strouhl number so we can use this to guestimate its future positions so we can hit them with bullets or anti-UAV mini units, which have optical flow sensors on-board, this will take a few years due to the need to have very small sensors and TinyOS which can process this kind of huge amount of information. Remember these intercept mini UAVs or Organic Model MAVs will also need to interface their own autonomous Tiny Operating Systems for autopilot and obstacle avoidance. We are talking about massive amounts of processing in a super small unit. But it can be done and we need to be thinking into the future of robotic and micro-robotic warfare, even Nano-MEMS operated robotic warfare. Think on this.
