Finally, An Urban Flying Saucer Warfare Reality

Finally, An Urban Flying Saucer Warfare Reality
via YOUR NEW REALITY by Darryl Mason on 21/08/08

They don't even pretend to be making this stuff for foreign wars anymore. We
will see fast, darting mini-flying saucers, armed with tasers, chasing down
suspects in our cities :

Flying saucers could potentially be used to support troops engaged in urban
warfare. The military is to assess whether the alien-like aircraft, Moon
buggies and miniature flying robots are capable of detecting roadside bombs and
insurgents without putting troops in the line of fire.

The saucers, which are less than a metre (3ft) across, have optical and
infra-red cameras and can fly over enemy positions without the need for a
remote-control operator.

The unusual devices are among the entrants in a Ministry of Defence
competition aimed at encouraging the development of urban warfare equipment.

Military analysts believe that street fighting will become an increasing part
of armed conflict in the future and want to make sure that British troops have
the edge.

Hence, the excitement over manmade mini-flying saucers.

The Stella system operates as a robotic team, with one unmanned aircraft
mapping an enemy stronghold, and the second aircraft working with the ground
vehicle to provide close inspections.

The devices, like others in the competition, are fitted with thermal and
normal lens cameras linked to intelligent software that can interpret pictures
to identify potential threats.

Readers of the London Times (in comments) appear to know that these robotic
hunter (and eventually killer) flying surveillance systems will eventually be
deployed in the skies and in the streets of London.

Just in time for the Olympics, in 2012.
