Bill Borgia, head of Lockheed Martin’s Intelligent Robotics Lab, stated in an interview that instead of sending one or two expensive aircrafts to cover an imagery of a large area, many small cheaper aircrafts which are also expendable could be sent. The drones are procurable in both 30 and 17 cm variants and could be kept in a pocket and easily fired when obligatory.
