The fact that there are military bases across the United States from which drones can and will be operated from combined with the fact that military drones are already being used in concert with law enforcement is disturbing enough.
It just gets worse when we consider the mind-bending future of drone technology, the ability to use lasers to keep drones airborne indefinitely and the constantly growing surveillance capabilities including threat assessments and facial recognition.
A new drone has been unveiled by Silent Falcon UAS Technologies, out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which utilizes proprietary advancements in a wide variety of systems in order to create “a tactical UAS [Unmanned Aerial System] and sensor system with capabilities that exceed any UAS in its class,” according to Silent Falcon’s press release.
The drone was first shown at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, which occurred from August 6-9, 2012.

Silent Falcon UAS Technologies is collaborating with a company called Bye Aerospace out of Denver, Colorado on this project in an attempt to create a compact, tactical drone which is “man-portable,” meaning small enough to be carried by a soldier or operative.
