State of the art of unmanned drones.

I found this program on Netflix streaming. It is very well done and uses a number of experts' comments.

While it hasn't been totally explained publicly, the USA have been using unmanned drones for several years in certain foreign countries to hunt down and destroy enemies. Especially after the 9/11 events.

Sometimes these unmanned drones are piloted from thousands of miles away, using high resolution cameras and GPS for guidance. Still on some occasions they are mistakenly used on innocent people.

The program also talks about research in the field, and how some drones are being built to find their way around using on-board sensors, with no need for such things as GPS guidance.

As one comments, in 1903 the Wright Brothers flew the first plane, and now just over 100 years later we are just on the ground floor for unmanned drones.

Fascinating topic and a good program.
