Imagine a small tiny drone that you can launch from your hand, capable of obtaining 360 degree views, a drone that is inherently stable and actually inspired by a maple seed.
Lockheed Martin is behind the design and plans to make them even smaller and adding swarm capabilities.

Instead of sending one or two expensive, highly valuable aircraft like we do today, you could send thousands of these inexpensive aircraft, and they are almost expendable.”

something that size to me, is still vulnerable as hell, might not break it, but sure it can be mangled beyond usefullness. Seems to me that these systems are using GPS...which is UNENCRYPTED......hmmmmmmmm ;)
