DARPA will develop a UAV to maneuver indoors at a speed of 20 m / s
Agency DARPA has placed internal заказ drones to develop a new program Fast Lightweight Autonomy (FLA), according to which the drones of this class will need to have maneuverability comparable to the maneuverability of birds or insects in their rapid flight, and thus do without manual control by the operator.
The agency is considering a number of situations where the presence of FLA-drones would be useful.
Military groups in a war zone, as a rule, can only control the situation outside, relying on survey produced drone; if suschestovala possibility of quick intelligence in the room, for example, in shopping malls, without danger to the manpower division, and thus the size and speed of movement of the drone would allow him to be invisible if not, then at least a little vulnerable, the benefit from such a device would be apparent. That is why one of the requirements for the FLA-drone is that it should be able to enter the building through a normal window and thus has a velocity of 20 m / s - program manager at DARPA Michael Misir directly compares the UAV capabilities with the capabilities of flight and maneuverability birds or insects.

On the other hand, based on the exclusively peaceful purposes, the existence of an autonomous drone that can bend around obstacles on their own (blockages or damage resulting from technological disasters or natural phenomena) without regard to the operator, without reference marks, or without GPS, and thus leading photo or videotaped, can not be overestimated.
