Future Of Drones: Light, Mobile, High Speed, Ground Movement Capable

We’re already familiar with military and police drone technology which can monitor and survey large areas with forward looking infrared, utilize face recognition and engage military and civilian targets with on-board weapons. With this new design, however, drone and micro-bot advancements can be taken to a whole new level of control and miniaturization.

We can only surmise that if we’ve been able to identify the host of military and policing applications, so too have the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies (the sphere was actually developed by researchers at Japan’s Ministry of Defense).

Though this version of the sphere available for public consumption appears to be a first generation technology, we suspect Japan is already working on more advanced models, likely for drone-related applications, which means in the next few years we’ll probably see these aircraft being deployed in military theaters, as well as for domestic surveillance applications.
