You'll never look at hummingbirds the same again.

The Pentagon has poured millions of dollars into the development of tiny drones inspired by biology, each equipped with video and audio equipment that can record sights and sounds.

I used to be involved in some of this R&D. Specifically "Energy Harvesting for Small Air Vehicles" on an SBIR contract funded by the AFRL. Here is a concept video from a coupke years ago. Neat stuff!

My computer is Watching me!!!!!Ahhh
