US Army tests pocket-sized drones, Black Hornet 3, aiming to equip every squad for enhanced reconnaissance.
The US Army is testing "pocket-sized" drones, known as Black Hornet 3, with the goal of providing every squad with these devices. These mini drones can transmit live video and HD still images, offering soldiers extra reconnaissance. Despite limited battery life and maneuverability in windy conditions, the Army hopes to implement these drones for all 7,000 squads, increasing situational awareness and reducing direct or indirect fire contact risks.
