Section 1: The Idea
Early Phases
The first time I saw the Prox Dynamics/Teledyne FLIR Black Hornet and Black Recon series UAVs, my thought instantly drifts to a scenario where it was used more than merely an eye, but can also be used as a small, swarm capable weapon system. Looking at the price however, I quickly understand why no country in this world would attempt that very scenario. The price of each unit of this "engineering masterpiece" also reminds me of how impractical it would be to have a unit slightly broken and yet the replacement bust be perfectly molded and costs more than a thousand US dollars each.
