'Invisible' insect-sized drones may soon be used by the U.S. Army
• http://www.dvice.com, Terry ChaoUsing GPS waypoints to a designated target, the Black Hornet can fly a full 20-25 minutes before needing to recharge, meaning the drone can travel nearly 4,000 feet in one go. Images and camera feed are sent to a seven-inch wide mobile device supplied in the PD 100 kit, which also includes a docking recharging station and a remote controller. The drone is pretty near invisible at 30 feet high, making it perfect for quick bouts of stealth surveillance.
