"CICADA is a concept for a low-cost, GPS-guided, micro disposable air vehicle that can be deployed in large numbers to 'seed' an area with miniature electronic payloads.
Regarding their low cost, Evan Ackerman in IEEE Spectrum,
said, 'They can carry a small sensor payload, and they're designed to be
cheap enough that you can use a whole bunch of them all at once.'
Another factor weighing in is a 3D-printed fuselage, which minimizes the
amount of hands-on assembly time required, he wrote.
'These little guys cost about US $250 each,' said Ackerman."
This doesn't explain quite what the value of such a system would be.
