Swarm of drones is in the key element if the world of battlefield and intelligence. Those small aerial and land-moving robots can cover very large areas, and they can be connected together with networks, what allows to connect the information, what the sensors of those vehicles send to the control center. Sometimes those small drones can carry the remote-controlled "toy cars", what can be dropped to the operational area, and those devices can look in the holes, and other places, where might be hiding people or equipment.
Some of those vehicles are equipped with small explosives like thermobaric, HEAT and thermite ammunition, what mission would be destroy enemy equipment. But there is more use for the swarm of the drones than use them as the hit weapon. The central computer can use the swarm of drones for protecting the bases against land and even the aerial attack.
Those small helicopters can have IR- and chemical sensors, and because drones are cheap, every drone might have different sensors. The computer can use drones as the shield by moving the swarm of them to the route of attacking aircraft and helicopters when the jet motors and helicopters rotors would be suck drones thru them, and this causes damages for those vehicles.
The drones can equip with the ECM-systems, what will disturb radars, and also there could be small-sized weapons like automatic pistols and MAC-10-style-submachine guns for terminating the enemy, and this kind of devices can be very dangerous. Every person can install the winch in the drone, what would pull the trigger backward by using wire and then launch that gun.
Smallest size drones cannot carry the automatic guns would anyway also equip the derringer pistols or the outside of the drones would install rifle bullets, what are equipped with electric detonators. Those killer drones can have size about a couple of centimeters, and they can be extremely deadly, the idea of those weapons comes from the toys and the 338 caliber rifle bullet is always deadly.
Those systems can also be used in the intelligence role, and they can use the commercial routers and other devices for catching WIFI communication, and in the worst case, those drones can make "man-in middle-attack" and route the enemy communication thru it. That kind of systems can cause very big troubles if the enemy communication would be routed thru that equipment. And are we prepared for those threats?
Sometimes we must say, that those drone swarms can defend successfully by using ECM-systems, what denies the communication between drones and central computers. Those drone swarms can communicate together by using WLAN-technology, and that kind of systems are giving them the ability to share the computer power together. And that technology makes those drone-swarms more independent. In the most futuristic and terrifying visions system would equip with the ability to find the fuel for those helicopters independently.
The chemical sensors would find the hydrocarbons for the fuel cells and then drones can cut the canister open, and fill the tanks. Drone swarms can also equip with "centers" what means drones with more powerful computer systems, and those systems can support the operations of the drones by flying with them, and the best way to defend against those systems would be EMP- or ECM weapon, what destroys the electronics and denies the communication between the individual drones.
I wait with fear when the first street gangs will attack against together by using drones. Those systems can also use for protecting the drug dealers by looking for the officials and this will cause terrible visions, how criminals can use them. They can look inside the houses, and looking for weapons and things, what they can steal. Drones can also be equipped with the microphones, and they can record every voice inside some house.
