Demonstrator Shows Off Hummingbird-shaped Drone

[LifeStyleOverDosed]

jus another way to fuck us over...nice one!

[dkrustyklown]

A cat would love to play with one of these.

[NineTailsDemonFox]

something about this reminds me of the movie "They Live". Sure you see something that resembles a bird, but "they" are watching you.

[peanutwrx02]

It sounds just like a bird!

[MrGottabefree]

Gonna give my .22 plinking time a whole new meaning!!!!

[dekadheck]

thumbs up if you watched this because of the yahoo news :D

[ehrockville]

it probably will end up getting weaponized as well like attach a small explosive device hehe

[flyboysgtv]

dood we cant even trust biirds to be real noww lol like wtf

[ahamatmabrahman]

@flyboysgtv I'll get my cats to watch out for these

[bigcfatty]

only problem is, since when have hummingbirds been indigenous to the middle east?

[Biceps55]

@bigcfatty That's why they use the locus variant in the middle east.

[BertGriffin88]

Are you Area 51 Observers paying attention. Come on UFO watchers. Hummingbird Drones flying above and sending video. Close in on those light shows. Why aren't 24/7 monitoring stations in place at the Black MailBox. Surely telescopic recordings should be presented. What a curious entity, Area 51 is? Don't cross Area 51 lines, they shoot on sight. Why is that?

[crinoid1919]

I'LL SWAT THE FUCKERS WITH A TENNIS RACKET IF I CAN

[celshader]

There will be paranoid terrorists and insurgents killing every hummingbird they see.

[meantheam]

Alex Jones was right!

[rsnboy08]

F..U!!!

[inachu]

invented in japan..............

[cooliesass]

O what fun...I want a dozen of them!!! xD

[TheOuskie]

lol a you tuber already broke this story. hehehehe

[eujeeves]

Range and Flight time? Otherwise it's just a useless toy from the markets..

[oilpatchgirl]

This is sick.

[Scheps76]

The answer to 1984 is 1776

[ODDNOMAD]

the police departments in the midwest use drones, not all but a couple especially near the "bible belt" of the country. even local citizens and neighbors in this region have makeshift spy equipment they use to fuck with people.

[sawdoff1100]

@ODDNOMAD Are you serious? Thas just wrong to invades peoples privacy, i would shoot that down if i could.

[k3w1b3an5]

I want 1

[solspice]

Another tool for the police and other agencies to watch what we are doing

[Josephdaz1]

@solspice Right on ..

[yes4me]

@solspice the army and police are not the same.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me Yes they are very much the same.

The same lord, the same violent mission.

It is just the different ward of the apparatus violence (Karl Marx), used to silence the critics of the government.

[yes4me]

@mrteemumilto I think you are paranoid of the police. The police is called upon when there is a crime. Yes, there are cases where there are police abused which made headlines, but overall, I think they do a good job. However nobody talk about the goods they do on the news because it is their jobs.

[sawdoff1100]

@yes4me yea they do a good job, but when their job involves them im my personal privacy then we got a problem. I like this for military use but i don't think their's a place for this in police use except to invade privacy.

[yes4me]

@sawdoff1100 What personal privacy you got if you commit a crime?

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me Should the punishment for any crime be the refusal of all human rights?

Of course not, and frankly no punishment is needed. Crime is a social problem that can be resolved. A murderer should be stopped for the time being with all his private life kept to himself.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me No, the police are the legalized bullies who are sent to bully the dissidents of the government. That's why we see them stuck to fighting the rebels both the civilians and the army on the side of the dictators. That's their job. The police is secretly allowed to invent the rules as to render the unwanted people to prison.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me If you don't like the answer, don't ask.

[yes4me]

@mrteemumilto I have never asked to know what you did in the past. Read all the comments I wrote here if you don't believe me.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me Yes you did. It concerned the great and fair character of the police.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me The whole question of the police is about them having covert orders that they can execute without ever become under public scrutiny. The police still works without a civilian probe, like it did when it was founded in the 19th century London. Those times were dark, dirty and segregated. The police is the only organization that hasn't been modernized socially. It is left to function on the basis of the 200 year old prejudices of the ruling class. Thas why they work with extreme prejudice.

[mrteemumilto]

@yes4me I have been closed into a cell with no food, shower, outside connections or a proper answer from the small tough sensor on the wall. I suddenly had no hope of my future, they lied about everything and flashed being jailed for more. I was only accused, not trialed of a threat with a toy gun, yet the police took their business to make me feel worthless like this, for the time that they had the right to imprison me. Does that make me paranoid?

[ODDNOMAD]

@solspice yeah one police epartment was filmed deploying one by a local news channel in the midwest. i shit you not. night vision and thermal used to look within homes.

[Player201410]

@solspice

Big Brother

[yournube]

Awesome, imagine what they'll be building ten years from now.

[JohnF30Music]

awesome

[moonsalam]

..when you see such a waist of ingenuity waisted on military you get to KNOW that the army is now the soul job provider, and thats not good..a hummingbird..one of natures cutest creatures used in battle field..you know something is wrong..

[ZachCraft]

@moonsalam

What use would this have anywhere but the military?

[brklynmd3]

@ZachCraft This will be used to spy on people. This is for someone more like the FBI CIA DEA Police departments around the world and so on. Can't use it where there are no humingbirds. But this is where it starts and then there will be a pigion and a bumble bee and then a fly. It will never end!

[Josephdaz1]

@brklynmd3 and don't you think some wack nut will be lQQking to plant a bomb in one of these ..

[sohcsarewicked]

@brklynmd3 well they already have these to spy on people please for a good purpose watch the video called "SHARK's "Angel" Aircraft Expose Animal Abusers"

[emerpus01]

@ZachCraft Journalism. We might be able to see what's happening to demonstrators in Libya right now, for example. Could also be useful for emergency rescue. No doubt this technology will be used for those purposes someday, just as many things invented for military use eventually enter civilian use. Sadly, defense development is the only way that some innovations like this get made, which should not be the case.

[ZachCraft]

@emerpus01 Why would this be useful for emergency rescue?

[emerpus01]

@ZachCraft It could allow rescuers to find people more easily, to plan the rescue more safely, to communicate with victims, and possibly even to bring them supplies. 

[Intrabeldin]

@moonsalam what about when they also send part of that shipment to rescue crews in earthquakes and such so they can find people quicker without having to walk over every square inch. Or when they put a better/different camera and use them for inspecting dangerous area's like cargo tanks on ships. People often forget that yes it's the military funding it but it's almost always going to end up in the public eventually, once it's cost effective.

[beelzbub]

@moonsalam So what you're saying is it would be better to send human beings into harms way, soldiers who require training, supply lines, and other expenditures, over a cost-effective robot on the basis that it is cute? Would it be OK if the drone were shaped into something not cute like a flying cockroach? It's not like military innovation doesn't find its way to the public sector, look at jet aircraft and radar among other things. Hell, penicillin mass-manufacturing developed out of WWII

[Mentalpatient87]

@moonsalam You are a short-sighted, illiterate fool, incidentally posting this idiocy on one of DARPA's old projects. Funny that.

[Nevrotico19]

Second !
