More likely, they would be used alongside stealth aircraft, artillery and cruise missiles to priovide accurate targeting information directly through a datalink, with no need for a human spotter to provide coordinates manually. Artillery, cruise missiles and and F35's could then keep a "lock" on a target as small as a human soldier, from 100km away. Imagine if one of these is used to track the location of an officer, like a colonel, walking within his camp, thinking he's safe. Then suddenly out of nowhere, a 250lbs semi-guided glide bomb hits precisely his location, launched from an F35 50km away.

@@Administrator_O-5 If the control unit is equipped with a data link, it (the control unit) would be perfectly able to relay enough information to a data network that in turn can provide real-time targeting data to an F35. If this is automatic, and the software of the control unit supports it, a "lock" on a target should show up in the sensor fusion software of the F35 instantly. Within a few secons, the pilot could authorize a launch of a GBU-53 or similar munition. If we assume a flight speed of about 200knots, the bomb should hit the target within ~15 minutes, plenty of time with a 25 minute battery on the drone.

Wow. That’s really amazing. I’ve been around drones before and they’re always quite loud. I wish we were able to actually hear how quiet it is in this video. 🌴☀️🌴
I imagine those would also be great for Fire Fighters and Emergency Doctors, Avalanche Rescue and all sorts of Distaster Help work. Though for those uses, larger, less stealthy drones would suffice, so less miniaturation would be needed.
Until you consider the cost per unit, you can easily get 20 more capable drones for the same price or less at the cost that they don't fit in your hand.
$195,000 per unit... that's gotta be like prescription pills. It costs the company millions of dollars to develop, but only a tiny fraction of that price to make each unit. They're charging that much to recoup the development cost. I just cannot believe it actually costs that much, and more likely costs the company a hundredth or less of that price to produce each unit.
This is amazing but the ones they don't show us are even more amazing. I've heard of drones the size of house flies that are released in swarms. Some land on power lines and can charge through induction - what the others do is up to our imagination. Make one a bit larger and attach an explosive and you can target individuals. Crazy stuff.
This drone is definitely not worth the money that they are selling it to the military. Having a background in drones and its technology for many years now I can see how this drone must be flown in an area where winds are below 5 mph.
Agreed. Not only that but the only places they can realistically use it (clearing buildings and infrastructure) means they are heard well before they come into contact with their objectives and or targets. 25 minutes isn't even enough to clear a two story 1500 square foot building with multiple rooms. I heard the lift of the blades were compromised to make it a little quieter but really how much could that be?
It is basically literally one of those $9 toy drones you get from the dollar store with a couple extra 12 megapixel cameras on it and that's being generous
For a drone that's 10 years old now it's pretty impressive compared to even high end consumer drones if you consider how tiny this thing is. Sure, now we can go out and buy a Mavic Mini for $300 which has significantly better performance and range, but is also significantly larger also has benefitted from 10 years of technology improvements.
They were nick named "buzzers...".

Yeah, I think he used a bit of creative license describing it's stealth here. People are saying it's loud outdoors, so you wouldn't have an issue hearing it in a stairwell if that's the case. But if you attacked the drone because you heard it, you would still give your presence away so even that is recon to be fair.
@@alldayeveryJA you can just look at the prop blade and see there are no muffling features, given the weight, slightly quieter than a commercial drone, but far from silent.

Its old so I don't know it was still in production as it was. I think it was made for purely its stealth capability, and if there handmade there might be component changes available for really high value targets

@@Simonsvids and those things aren't really worth $195k, that's just government bs. Maybe $195k in research and development, by now they're probably much cheaper. This is OLD tech
There are many mini drones available to civilians for less than $150 per unit that could fulfill at least part of the role these expensive drones do; like advance scouting and clearing compounds. The hi-tech abilities like heat sensors and night vision are great but not always needed to save lives and keep soldiers from walking into ambushes. I have heard many stories of urban combat where the location of enemy soldiers ended up being much closer than a squad thought. One had four Navy SEALs run up to a wall to use it for cover only to discover the enemy was on the other side and not further down the road. A simple small pocket drone would have allowed them to see where the enemy was before moving and avoid the casualties they suffered. No need for a $200k drone when $150 will do the job.
The price goes up on terms like Silent, 25min runtime, encrypted data link (most likely off comercial frequencies so price++), and a large part of the cost is the remote. 150$ chinese drone, if someone monitors open wi-fi or 5.8 GHz analog channels, will be spoted instantly.
@@ApusApus I am talking about troops walking through villages in remote areas occupied by terrorist groups and bandits. The most common military encounter for US troops today who are still fighting these types of enemies in Africa and elsewhere. These groups do not have the technological sophistication to monitor, track and retaliate against signals like other more advanced countries do. In the situations small drones would be deployed against these enemies for the purpose of real time immediate area scouting the deployment would be short, a matter of minutes, and the presence of American troops likely already known to the enemy. So the unit being completely silent is not as important as its ability to tell the troops there is a hostile fire team around the corner or over the hill. Also most of these small over the counter micro drones are very short range radio controlled devices and not long range drones. Making tracking them difficult.
@@socket_error1000 The issue with a drone being spoted (especially indoors) is that measures can be taken against it, such as hiding or trying to catch it, or attempts to jam or get the video feed can be made. In your mentioned use case something cheaper could be emplyed, but I doubt it would go below 10k per system, as cryptographics, military radio frequencies and reliability requirements will bring those costs up.
@@ApusApus Again those types of technologies are not in the hands of the terror groups and rebels operating on the fringe, like the middle of Africa where our guys are presently operating and an ambush a few years ago killed several soldiers who likely would have been able to spot the trap in advance with a small drone. Terrorists have used full size drones to guide car bombs down city roads and around roadblocks toward targets against US and Allied forces and our own technologies have had trouble stopping this. A micro drone used at low altitude to clear the immediate area, or inside a small structure to explore blind corners is not going to be detected or defeated by long range signals intel no terrorist groups even have. You also don't need recording software on these, just a camera to relay the image. Even if that video signal were intercepted, the enemy are looking at themselves.

You don't even have to double the size. Replace one of the cameras with a syringe. Send in one for every terrorist in the room and put half of them to sleep. It could be called the 'Mosquito Variant'. I bet they got weaponized versions of this scary little thing. 100 percent.
My brother in law is in the marines and he said that weaponized drones are one of their biggest fears. Almost impossible to detect and they have pinpoint accuracy.
I used these at drone company I worked for that bought out the Norway company, they are amazing drones. We use to fly them in the office ; but, they are not so quiet you would not notice if it was nighttime quiet. They are very very hard to spot outside and perfect outdoors.
Yeh yeh yeh sure you did kid, you keep having your fantasies…just keep them to yourself next time 🤙utter rubbish 🤣 I bet you was the best pilot aswell eh? I know you can’t answer that as it’s …(classified) yeh 👍 congrats alex I’m guessing skunkworks can’t wait for you to apply.
There is no way they should be so expensive. Its strictly based off of that they know a nations government military will pay any amount of money.. Still this this is super awesome and helpful.
All limited by the wind. At this size it can only function in wind below 20mph with gusts less than 30mph. This is not a common or consistent condition. These are more for indoor recon in reality with limited outdoor functionality.
Loss of signal would be its Achilles heel. Inside a building how is it going to receive and transmit especially from any distance as well as the loss of GPS signal to guide it?
@@michelhickey5765 Just like in Prometheus. They can automatically map the structure, keeping distance from any enemies, hazards and depending on what frequency range they use the signal can go through quite a bit of material. Like you said they can form a relay chain to keep comms. up from end to end. I know MIT has been working on AI control software algorithms for swarms of robots for decades. Every year they have AI robotic competitions like playing soccer or completing some task. The robots have to be completely autonomous. Pretty cool stuff. ruclips.net/video/IgMKiIEbfN8/видео.html
Cost $189,000 EACH! Someone's making a killing and I'm not talking about enemy killing! This manufacturer is trying to get back all of it's research costs with the first few sales!
Military technology is something like 40 years more advanced than what they tell us. If this was known about in 2013 just think what they have now. That fly in your house could be a drone.
That is really cool! BTW, I wonder if it could be fitted with a tranquilizer dart. Also, one would hope the price will come down if they can automate its manufacture and get more economy of scale.
Taser made a twelve gauge taser shell that totally works out of any twelve gauge. imagine if they partnered with this company. How slick would that be. Hornet with a hell of a sting.
Already have kamikaze drones. Imagine these being minimized and giving them a LiPO or an unstable LiOn battery. You dump a bucket out of a plane or chopper and they swarm to a target and explode. On exploding, the battery, depending on which one it uses, turns into an incendiary or a toxic smoke bomb.
A tool used in the military that saves lives rather than taking them for a change, not to mention the stress prevented on soldiers...They are probably already using explosives with the drone though...Just fly it over the the enemy and press kaboom, would probably be lethal to anyone within 2 meters of it.
Can't beat an Ideology buddy and it was an Insurgency. Kinda hard to destroy a people that hides in the Civilian population. Wait until the USA fights a Conventional war.
The Black Hornet 2.0 will be equipped with AI facial recognition and a magazine loaded with ricin-laced micro-darts. They will deployed in swarms of several thousand.
There was one of these things or similar checking out the cars in the fuel station at costco a few months ago, it was there for so long i asked my partner to get a net in costco so i could catch it 😂 unfortunatly she took longer than it was there.
The narrator says (1) maximum speed 11 mph; (2) can cope with bad weather... I would not call an 11 mph breeze "bad weather", but, it seems it can't cope with even a mild breeze...
You joke but it is simply a matter of time until we can manufacture machines complex enough on the nano-scale. Sort of like the doomsday weapons they were using in the first G.I. Joe movie. Millions of microscopic robots capable of infiltrating the tightest security and destroying targets as necessary. This tech. is over 10 years old I can only imagine how advanced they are right now.
Love it but too expensive. I doubt others such as DJI, Zero-x and others can come up with a more affordable civilian version with all the same features as this guy has.
If I remember correctly micro warfare was in the sci-fi novel The Risen Empire. Imagine they're even smaller and you have armed them with needles ... you could inject poison or something similarly toxic, perhaps even a gas, by sending in a bees swarm first. How'd you even fight that with an AK 47😳
In operation since 2013 - by now there's probably something half the size and twice as fast with 5 x the range.
Things that look like insects etc.
The ones we used in our battalion was about the size of a half dollar
That would mean batteries are 5 X better than they were in 2013. Phones are maybe 2X better.
They’re hold our technology back 🤔 D.A.R.P.A haves flying insects? They had a fly with a camera on it.
It’s funny and a bit unnerving when reality strays into birds aren’t real territory.
A swarm of forty or fifty could be used as an anti stealth multi focal radar. These are going to be very useful.
That's a really cool idea! Could you go into a little bit of detail on how the system would work? Phased array elements?
Murder-swarm

Double its size and add in a frag. Make it a mini-Switchblade. A swarm could be pretty effective at sweeping Russian trenches.
You don't even have to double the size. Replace one of the cameras with a syringe. Send in one for every terrorist in the room and put half of them to sleep. It could be called the 'Mosquito Variant'. I bet they got weaponized versions of this scary little thing. 100 percent.
Lol. They'd be screaming warcrime like WW2 Germany did with our shotguns
My brother in law is in the marines and he said that weaponized drones are one of their biggest fears. Almost impossible to detect and they have pinpoint accuracy.
Scary what tech can deliver these days!
Great video as usual. Dark Tech: remember to say "unquote" after the quote!
I used these at drone company I worked for that bought out the Norway company, they are amazing drones. We use to fly them in the office ; but, they are not so quiet you would not notice if it was nighttime quiet. They are very very hard to spot outside and perfect outdoors.
Looks awesome
Yeh yeh yeh sure you did kid, you keep having your fantasies…just keep them to yourself next time 🤙utter rubbish 🤣 I bet you was the best pilot aswell eh? I know you can’t answer that as it’s …(classified) yeh 👍 congrats alex I’m guessing skunkworks can’t wait for you to apply.
Yeh let Alex pilot them war will be over in minutes 👍 he’s top gun ✈️
I can smell the bullsh1t from here alex 🤣
@@spursphil81 🤣🤣🤣
It’d be cool if it could determine GPS coordinates for a target for fire support missions.
*A NICE LITTLE DRONE, BUT A BIT TOO EXPENSIVE, PERHAPS DARPA CAN BUILD ONE FOR MUCH LESS AND EVEN TARGET THE ENEMIES FOR A LATER CONFRONTATION.*
perhaps they already have these.
If people are interested in owning one there is a RC version of this for sale it’s about 80$ though it’s much bigger
digital vtx looks like it has a bit more latency than id expect for something costing 200k per. wonder what frequency there using for it?
It's military so I guess they aren't going show the real video.
There is no way they should be so expensive. Its strictly based off of that they know a nations government military will pay any amount of money.. Still this this is super awesome and helpful.
CIA now has bugs the size of beetles that fly around. The tech that's coming out is unbelievable.. Gr8 work 👍.
Even your dog or wife could Be a CIA product and thats scary. You should seek The truth, by asking, by interrogation etc...

All limited by the wind. At this size it can only function in wind below 20mph with gusts less than 30mph. This is not a common or consistent condition. These are more for indoor recon in reality with limited outdoor functionality.
Every front line soldier should have one.
Loss of signal would be its Achilles heel. Inside a building how is it going to receive and transmit especially from any distance as well as the loss of GPS signal to guide it?
Solution would be to have AI to keep the drone from crashing and having as many drones as needed to relay back and forth, just like a wifi hub
@@michelhickey5765 Just like in Prometheus. They can automatically map the structure, keeping distance from any enemies, hazards and depending on what frequency range they use the signal can go through quite a bit of material. Like you said they can form a relay chain to keep comms. up from end to end. I know MIT has been working on AI control software algorithms for swarms of robots for decades. Every year they have AI robotic competitions like playing soccer or completing some task. The robots have to be completely autonomous. Pretty cool stuff. ruclips.net/video/IgMKiIEbfN8/видео.html
@@seanriopel3132 just think of the craziest solutions and its probably already a thing lol
CERTAIN IMPORTANT CAPABILITIES CAN EASILY BE COUNTERED WITHOUT RAISING SUSPISCIONS OF USER. IN FACT IT COULD BE EVEN BE USED AGAINST THE USER.
I wonder what drugs their PR guy was on, stating that it's invisible. :D This thing is the size of a bird and not sound-less either.
9 years old. This was invisible for now nobody woukd have expected it
No way that is nearly silent, it will whine like a dentist drill.
IS THAT DEIMOS GADGET??????
Far too large, easily spotted.
The music is really loud and annoying today.... SIGH
The drone doesn't "connect to the operator thru GPS" that's just how it navigates.... Jeez
Yo, hog driver, check out this live feed.
……..BRRRRRRRRT !! YEAH BABY 👊😎
My grandfather use to talk about a fictional character called “sneaky Pete” well now it’s a pocket size drone🥸
Cost $189,000 EACH! Someone's making a killing and I'm not talking about enemy killing! This manufacturer is trying to get back all of it's research costs with the first few sales!
Military technology is something like 40 years more advanced than what they tell us. If this was known about in 2013 just think what they have now. That fly in your house could be a drone.
That is really cool!
BTW, I wonder if it could be fitted with a tranquilizer dart.
Also, one would hope the price will come down if they can automate its manufacture and get more economy of scale.
Taser made a twelve gauge taser shell that totally works out of any twelve gauge. imagine if they partnered with this company. How slick would that be. Hornet with a hell of a sting.
Ok there mr harkonen
@@joshschneider9766 Interesting idea!
That’s why we carry rifles. Puts threats right to sleep.
Already have kamikaze drones. Imagine these being minimized and giving them a LiPO or an unstable LiOn battery. You dump a bucket out of a plane or chopper and they swarm to a target and explode. On exploding, the battery, depending on which one it uses, turns into an incendiary or a toxic smoke bomb.
Let’s hope it’s also being used for good like the emergency services
Old news is so exciting.
if you install an explosive in it then you can see what's in building and destroy target without sending anyone inside
A tool used in the military that saves lives rather than taking them for a change, not to mention the stress prevented on soldiers...They are probably already using explosives with the drone though...Just fly it over the the enemy and press kaboom, would probably be lethal to anyone within 2 meters of it.
The smallest military drone - The size of Andre The Giant's finger...
Still wasn't enough to defeat cavemen with AK-47s..
Can't beat an Ideology buddy and it was an Insurgency. Kinda hard to destroy a people that hides in the Civilian population. Wait until the USA fights a Conventional war.
I like the wire that hangs down. DIJI hasn't thought of that yet.
what's with the black string hanging from it?
Why not just make a small drone shape like a black bird 🤔
The Black Hornet 2.0 will be equipped with AI facial recognition and a magazine loaded with ricin-laced micro-darts.
They will deployed in swarms of several thousand.
Well that’s not fun. Fucking CIA is gonna use that to their advantage no doubt
Wrong
Wheres the amazon link?
Now that’s what I want for Christmas;) 😜👍🏻❤️
WONDERFUL TECNOLOGY BY MILITARY AMERICA ❤
The truth is there has to be zero wind for this drone to fly.
Can you spray paint them to customize them to their surroundings?
No, you only get pink white and black to choose 😂
Good thing for you they have pink
Please either offer the option of listening without music or be more selective in its use. It's distracting and makes almost unlistenable
There was one of these things or similar checking out the cars in the fuel station at costco a few months ago, it was there for so long i asked my partner to get a net in costco so i could catch it 😂 unfortunatly she took longer than it was there.
A 3 mph wind renders these and
ALL handheld drones worthless
The narrator says (1) maximum speed 11 mph; (2) can cope with bad weather... I would not call an 11 mph breeze "bad weather", but, it seems it can't cope with even a mild breeze...
I what to know what makes them so expensive. Is it all patients amd stuff?
What is the thread it seems to be carrying below it's belly?
Wait till these things are the size of and look exactly like the ordinary blue bottle housefly.
Nice, but that antenna worries me... Is that line under that drone an antenna?
Yes it's an antenna. You get better range with a lower frequency.
4 inches by 1 inch in size. These things are little bigger then a pistol mag.
100k+ for a finger sized drone.... so it uses diamonds and platinum? it's neat.. but...yeah.. no
I'm from Norway and Oscar is no city I've ever heard of...????
There’s no way in hell that thing is worth $195,000 that’s crazy its got about $200 worth of parts in it
I love the tiny Fast Rope hanging out, ready for the radio controlled comm-Ant-does to repel down. 🐜📡
You joke but it is simply a matter of time until we can manufacture machines complex enough on the nano-scale. Sort of like the doomsday weapons they were using in the first G.I. Joe movie. Millions of microscopic robots capable of infiltrating the tightest security and destroying targets as necessary. This tech. is over 10 years old I can only imagine how advanced they are right now.
We could send some comm-ant-does to raid Putins picknik and poop in his potato salad!

Love it but too expensive. I doubt others such as DJI, Zero-x and others can come up with a more affordable civilian version with all the same features as this guy has.
We must have had a different model ours was so silent..the only way we could see it was thru thermals
If I remember correctly micro warfare was in the sci-fi novel The Risen Empire. Imagine they're even smaller and you have armed them with needles ... you could inject poison or something similarly toxic, perhaps even a gas, by sending in a bees swarm first. How'd you even fight that with an AK 47😳
Russia says "Thank you very much guys" 🤣
What is that thin tread hanging on its belly?
