"The mini-drones, called Perdix, are government designed yet built
with commercial off-the-shelf elements. William Roper, who
reports to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter as the Director of the
Strategic Capabilities Office, said the effort was showing
promise for possible near-term combat advantage.
'They are expendable and fly low as a surveillance asset. You can
have a lot of them for a saturation approach. Saturating has an
advantage over the thing it has to defend against. Its defender
has to take more time and money to defend against it,' Roper told
a small group of reporters.
While Roper did not wish to openly discuss the particular sensor
technologies used by Perdix, he did explain that they could be
quickly launched from an aircraft’s flare dispensers."
Oh boy. They can go in all kinds of directions with this, from surveillance to offense.
