Is that a swarm of tiny armed drones chasing you?  Did you offend a highly placed government official?  Or did you fail to pay your parking tickets?

Reality is quickly catching up with very recent science fiction.  While it took many decades to catch up with Jules Verne's fantasies, now last year's daring and imaginative science fiction surprises us from today's technology news. Or from the skies above you. 

Death from a swarm of tiny drones: U.S. Air Force releases terrifying video of tiny flybots that can can hover, stalk and even kill targets
  • Air Vehicles Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, is already developing prototypes of tiny drones that can hover
  • The Micro Air Vehicles will work in swarms to provide complex surveillance of a battlefield
  • They can also be armed with incapacitating chemicals, combustible payloads or even explosives 'for precision targeting capability'


  • Hovering: Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are the future of the unmanned drones program, according to a new video from the Air Force. The Air Force has already developed a drone capable of hovering like a mothThe US Airforce has proudly released a video with their latest publicly known drone technology. I say "publicly known" because there are other even more amazing technologies still in an early and secret development stage.

    MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles) are tiny drones that can fly in swarms, hover above their targets, and even crawl on them and execute them.

    Among their non-lethal capabilities, they can do outdoor and indoor surveillance, and inject their human targets with incapacitating chemicals.  But they can also blow up the whole thing with explosives. 

    If you get hysterical at the sight of a spider crawling on your leg, or a bee buzzing near your nose, it's hard to imagine what even the thought of these swarming and crawling drones will do to your mind.

    Sweet dreams.
