Insect Spies: Tiny craft can fly by flapping wings

FLASHBACK: Spy bugs at Washington DC marches?
The ability for a tiny man-made vehicle to fly through the flapping of wings while carrying its own energy source has been achieved, the company responsible said. AeroVironment Inc., a California company, announced that the Defense Advanced research Projects Agency had awarded it a contract extension to design and build a working prototype of a nano air vehicle.
The contract extension is worth $2.1 million and continues through summer 2010 for work that uses “biological mimicry at an extremely small scale,” which would allow for “new military reconnaissance capabilities in urban environments,” a company release said.
AeroVironment said its NAV reached a technological milestone when the craft, using two flapping wings and carrying its own energy source, managed controlled hovering flight. The company said the NAV used only the wings for propulsion and control.

While in flight the NAV was able to climb and descend, fly forward and back and also left and right while under remote control.
“The NAV program will push the limits of aerodynamic and power conversion efficiency, endurance, and maneuverability for very small, flapping wing air vehicle systems,” Todd Hylton, DARPA program manager, said in a release.

This is old news. I’m sure they have stuff better than this now.
They don’t seem to understand that no one likes to be spied on! I think they wasted millions of dollars myself. Thanks govt bureaucrats!

Good! Im glad we have better, less detectable surveillance equipment. That means better intel, without having to send troops in harms way.
Hopefully they will start using it on the US/Mexico border too.

Have you ever caught a fly in your hand?
If is, Reverse engineered Counterintelligence Midges are just round the corner. Bastards!

the dragonfly type has nothing to do with what we see in that video. I think this dragonfly thingy is just a nice little concept model and nothing more, I bet it is not flying. If what we see in the video is the real McCoy, they are not near getting to this miniaturization step… I mean, you can almost see the tethers LMAO

This micro/nano-robots are run according with Swarm Intelligence Theory. All what the scientist are inventing are twisted around and used against people, by these diabolical NWO minds. Regrettably

Its the new Freedom, love it slaves.
Police spy-bots everywhere, nearly all Americans classified as “domestic terrorists”, the Constitution and Bill of Rights completely ripped up, s**t on and pissed on, Martial Law, curfews, children being tasered, old people, disabled people being tasered, ambulance workers arrested, armed checkpoints, warrentless searches and wiretaps, police killing innocent people, poison in the water supply, poison in the vaccines, total IQ reduction, brainwashing, mind control……. Love it slaves.
You like the movie Equilibrium America? Well guess what – that’s going to be your new reality. Don’t listen to Alex Jones, that thought criminal, listen to your loving Government – they care so much about the children — that’s why millions are dead thanks to their loving criminality — police dressed like Fascist Stormtroopers is completely normal – just accept it. War is Peace, Ignorance Is Strength, Love it, and switch off. You don’t need independant thought – the Government can think for you — it keeps you safe from the imaginery threat — the terrorists who are directly linked to the Government….
Everything’s fine just don’t worry.

We as a people have always been opposed to secret meetings, to secret proceedings and to secret oaths. Now they have a secret bug…..
Usually when there is a big bug like a dragonfly in a room with people the people ussually kill it! More tax dollars hard at work!
