"Israel Aerospace
Industries has taken the quadcopter to its logical conclusion: They
built a man-hunting flying suicide drone. The ROTEM-L unmanned aerial
vehicle is designed to hunt down targets in urban environments and
execute a suicide attack, blowing them up with hand grenades.
ROTEM-L
weighs 9 pounds, carries infrared cameras, and has a flying time of 30
minutes. An operator uses a tablet to guide the drone. He or she uses
the forward-fixed camera to search for targets—IAI says the drone is
virtually silent at ranges of 200 meters. Once a target is located, the
operator can activate the attack mode. ROTEM-L executes a high
speed on attack its prey. Once in range, the drone detonates two onboard
fragmentation grenades, destroying itself and the target. "
Well there goes the neighborhood. Now people will see quadcopters and run in fear.
