Australian Army to roll out Black Hornet micro UAVs

Mitenköhän noin pienet kopterit toimii jos on vähänkin tuulisempi sää? Taitaa olla aika rajoittunutta käyttää noita?

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/are-autonomous-trucks-going-to-save-the-industry-or-destroy-it/Driverless technologies are disrupting transportation around the globe. Though most experts disagree on when humans will be replaced behind the steering wheel by artificial intelligence, few doubt that it will happen.
Until now, passenger cars have taken center stage in the transformation from driven-to-driverless. It makes perfect sense; people movers are currently at the heart of the "Mobility as a Service" business model popular within the transportation sector and taking the human driver out of a bus, cab, ride-share, whatever form of mobility service it might be, is the quickest path to profitability.
But the more the industry experiments within MaaS, the more it feels that the car's 18-wheeled counterpart—like the tractor-trailer or long-haul truck—will make the most immediate socio-economic impact. It's a matter of the early bird gets the worm, as the saying goes.
Saman homman ajaa vähän isompi ja halvempi race drone ja tuhoutuessa voisi ottaa uuden repusta.En tiedä mitään koko asiasta, mutta jos mun pitäisi suunnitella kolibrin kokoluokkaa oleva UAV niin varustaisin sen mahdollisuuksien mukaan oksaan-tarttumis-loitering-ominaisuudella.
Toinen mieleen tuleva asia tuon kokoluokan peleistä on se, että kaupunkisodankäynnissä ja vyöryttämisessä voivat olla kertakaikkisen loistavia. "Oltais menossa tonne. Keitä siellä on ja kuinka paljon?

Siis olettaen että löytyy tarpeeksi hyvä ohjaaja
Ei välttämättä huomaamatta eli vastapuoli voisi tietää että heidät on spotattu mutta eivät tietäisi missä vihulainen on.Loitering? Huomaamatta?
https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton...refighting-robot-snake-flies-on-jets-of-waterFires have an unfortunate habit of happening in places that aren’t necessarily easy to reach. Whether the source of the fire is somewhere deep within a building, or up more than a floor or two, or both, firefighters have few good options for tackling them. They can either pour water into windows (which doesn’t always work that well), or they can try and get into the building, which seems like it’s probably super dangerous.
At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation last month, researchers from Tohoku University and National Institute of Technology, Hachinohe College, in Japan, presented a new kind of snake-like robot with the body of a fire house. Like other snake robots, this one has the potential to be able to wiggle its way into windows or other gaps in a structure, with the benefit of carrying and directing water as it goes. What’s so cool about this particular design, though, is how it powers itself: By firing high pressure jets of water downwards like rocket engines, it can lift itself off of the ground and fly.

The UAV was unveiled in May 2018 during the Victory Day Parade, at which two vehicles were being transported by two KAMAZ-65117 multipurpose trucks.
The Katran is designed for fire support and reconnaissance missions. The UAV features coaxial rotor scheme and can land at unpaved airstrips. The vehicle carries a photo or TV camera or a thermal imager. The Katran has a normal take-off weight of 340 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 490 kg. The vehicle carries a 60 kg payload. The UAV is powered by a 115 hp engine, which produces a climb rate of up to 12 m/s, a maximum speed of 130 km/h, and an endurance of 4 hours during flights with the normal take-off weight. The Katran has a hover ceiling of 2,000 m and a service ceiling of 4,000 m. The UAV can be used by both ground and naval units.
The trucks, which were carrying the Katrans during the Victory Day Parade, were also fitted with two 9M113M Konkurs-M (NATO reporting name: AT-5B Spandrel-B) and two 9M120 Ataka (AT-9‘Spiral-2) anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM). Considering its payload, the Katran can carry two containerized Konkurs-M ATGMs or a single Ataka.
At least two versions of the Katran UAV have been developed up to date. The first was unveiled during a rehearsal of the Parade in late April. It features two distinctive round air intakes in the upper hull, while the UAV demonstrated in Moscow had its air intakes protected by covers.
In 2014, the Kamov company, a subsidiary of Rostec's Russian Helicopters, presented its concept of a rotary-wing UAV designated Ka-175. However, the project was rejected.
