It is my contention that "the next big thing" in military hardware is the automation of small muti-rotors. Big drones like the Predator basically replace an airplane. Small multi's are a completely new type of weapon system.
For less than $1 million a small country or terrorist org could loose a swarm of automatic weapon and explosive carrying mutirotor drones that could take out an entire regiment of traditionally equipped ground troops while probably not losing one single drone.
Here is the ABC 60 minutes coverage of military intended research....
"Autonomous drones are being called the biggest thing in military technology since the nuclear bomb. David Martin reports."
