New Bird Shaped Drone Shown at Security and Defense Trade Show
garymortimer writes "SHEPHERD-MIL, a UAV which looks like a native bird with the same flight performance, will be featured at HOMSEC 2013. This UAV is characterized by the glide-ratio and noiseless motor that make it invisible, silent and unobtrusive in sensitive missions. SHEPHERD-MIL is equipped with cameras and geolocation software. The system is especially suitable for border surveillance missions, firefighting, and anti-drug trafficking operations amongst others."
"Bird-shaped"
The way it's written now, I parsed this at first as "Some new bird shaped a drone that is shown at a security and defense trade show".
Everyone knows that fires are blind to birds. Their one natural enemy.
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
(Somebody really needs to come up with a Superman UAV.)
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Because, after all, you wouldn't want the fire to know it was being watched.

We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
It's always drone season (*cocks shotgun*).

Why on earth would you release something like that on iOS?.
Because if you are cool enough to fly spy drones, you need to be seen doing it with the bestest phone in the whole wide world.
Would Steve (peace be upon him, hallowed be His name) be caught dead controlling spy drones on an Android? Of course not, and neither should you.
