The Israelis are a smart bunch. They have to be to live and they seem to continually innovate, just like we used to before we lost our way. Here is a new system they have devised, a Mosquito Micro UAV, a UAV that doesn’t carry ordinance, is designed for short range use and are undoubtedly significantly cheaper as a result. Just look at the requirements for launch.
Where I live is relatively quiet, only the occasional murder, bank robbery, rape and mugging. A utopia as far as the UK is concerned. However, we still get the drone of Plods aircraft whilst it searches for bad guys in cars or paedophiles with really big willies. One or the other.
Now in a few years time I see the sky filled with these mini UAVs all following every car as it travels the roads waiting for them to speed or race a red light or something. Every pedestrian as the walk the streets just waiting to mug someone or get their willie out.
It seems an ideal match. Low cost surveillance of the population at large. All managed by deskilled worker drones so we no longer need an expensive pilot or plane and can fly these using the latest technological advances in drone management, both UAV and people.
Of course we will always need access to a Predator class drone. A weapons platform that we can use when someone is creating too much pollution or perhaps even dropping litter out of a car window. Some people just don’t deserve to live.
But as you know technology is two edged. At this cost Mr Big could afford a few themselves to watch out for Plod tracking his guys, staking out his hideouts or even Plod getting into position for a raid. This would easily be spotted as Plod left their hidey spots to pick up some donuts and fill in the H&S forms in the command cabin.
It’s funny in a way. Israel has to go the non violent route to show they are the nice guys even though they are up against nutters, albeit nutters with the world’s press on their side while the US will go bigger and bigger until the drones are using B1′s with tactical nukes. It’s great being a sole world power.
Factoid : The B-1B Lancer is one of my favourite aircraft.
