Anyone have any mosquito spray? These little buggers are--wait, nm, its just a drone

[nicehat]

Im getting a little sick of console news so...shall we?

 

The Black Hornet nano drone, which can be carried in a soldier's pocket, has an onboard camera that gives troops video and still images of hard-to-access places. 

 

 

Weighing only 0.56 ounces (16 grams), the Black Hornet looks like a tiny toy helicopter. But it's really a nano-size piece of military hardware unlike anything on the battlefield today — experimental robot flies and hummingbirds not withstanding.

 

The PD-100 Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System, unveiled to the American public for the first time last week at the Association of the United States Army Expo in Washington, D.C., is a drone (actually, a pair of them) that a soldier can carry and operate as easily as he or she would a radio.

 

Since last year, the British infantrymen in Afghanistan have been using the new Black Hornets on a variety of missions — from scouting routes for possible enemy ambushes to peeking over the walls of a nearby compound.

 

Soooo if I could get my hands on one of these things and use it to borrow some answers off the smart kid for my next board exam that would be faaaaan-taaastic

 

What would you guys use this for if you could has?

Hook it up to oculus rift and go "flying"

If you could fly it like an AR drone then it would be pretty awesome. Could save a lot of lives really.

Im guessing the controller is the same as what you would use on a modelplane with a builtin lcd display.

Only problem with that is that it could be kind of bulky and an iPhone or Android phone would fit perfectly in a pocket with a little case with the two drones inside
