Yet another example of swarming in action.Soon there will be tiny robots carrying a couple of ounces, but by the thousand over long distances. No sci-fi, this is the direction of modern warfare, surveillance, transport and scientific research, look up quadrotors on youtube, you'll shit yourself if you haven't seen such things before. Very scary, very cool, very different to the common perception of future progress. As usual!You going to develop a way of detecting something the size of your hand flying across the border? Swarming really is the future of conflict, and commerce too with the advent of 3D printers.http://www.rand.org/pubs/documented_briefings/DB311.htmlSwarming takes power from any hierarchical centralized system, and I don't see most governments cottoning on to the implications of what that means, because they're still investing in aircraft carriers. 'Power Projection Force' is a meaningless concept when you're working against the Hive, it's like punching an empty bag.If this is a concept that the new Asian states understand, and the mindset of the Japanese strongly suggests that it is, then the United States should be very afraid indeed. Traditional maneuver tactics or Blitzkrieg strategy won't work against a nation state that comprehends what swarming means.
