U.S. Army 捜し出すs 企て,努力,提案s to build backpack sized 'kamikaze' drones to 飛行機で行く in and kill 謀反のs from six miles away

The U.S. 軍の is 捜し出すing 請負業者s to build it miniature '自殺 drones' that can be flown into 的s up to six miles away.

The little 計画(する)s, which could look like the remote-controlled 航空機 used in a more 国内の setting, could be used for kamikaze-style attacks on 乗り物s or buildings - even individuals if necessary.

The Army wants the 武器s, known as the 'Lethal Miniature 空中の 軍需品 System' (LMAMS) into war by 2016, and 述べる the 武器 as a 'portable, covert 武器 with strike 能力 against 静止している or moving individuals, with a very low 危険 of collateral 損失'.

The '計画(する)' will consist of a drone, 弾頭 and 開始する,打ち上げるing 装置 with a 最大限 負わせる of いっそう少なく than five 続けざまに猛撃するs.

Like this, but smaller: The Army?s existing Raven drone is on the small side - but the military is seeking a smaller version by 2016

Like this, but smaller: The Army?s 存在するing Raven drone is on t he small 味方する - but the 軍の is 捜し出すing a smaller 見解/翻訳/版 by 2016

The 目的(とする) is to fit the entire 計画(する) in a backpack, and be able to 飛行機で行く it two minutes after a 的 is agreed on. At that point, the 計画(する) must be able to 飛行機で行く for 15 to 30 minutes across up to six miles of 領土.

によれば Wired, size is not the main 問題/発行する, as long as the (手先の)技術 is light enough for 平易な 輸送(する) by foot.

Once (軍隊を)展開する,配備するd, the (手先の)技術 could be controlled by a human, or by GPS.

The 提案 文書 says that: 'Once a 的 is selected by the 操作者 in the 終点 段階 of an 約束/交戦 no その上の 操作者 input shall be 要求するd'.

One last 必要物/必要条件s shows the need to 減ずる collateral 損失: with the army 明言する/公表するing the drone must have an '極端に low probability' of 殺人,大当り someone 10 メーターs from the 爆弾's 衝撃.

Drones have so far been used in countries 含むing Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.

Another take on the drone: The army is also exploring the ?Switchblade? - a small remote drone fired from a tube

Another take on the drone: The army is also 調査するing the ?Switchblade? - a small remote drone 解雇する/砲火/射撃d from a tube

Wired points out that the Army already has 研究員s looking at three different ways of miniaturising drones.

The first is to build tiny 爆発性のs, which can fit on already 存在するing miniature 秘かに調査する drones.

The second is to take 存在するing drones and 規模 負かす/撃墜する the 科学(工学)技術, as happens in other 産業s such as the 計算するing world.

Lastly, the army is looking at 'mashing-up' 存在するing drone and ミサイル 科学(工学)技術, creating a hybrid which is 効果的に a guided ミサイル.
