Video Friday: Fire Scout
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 13 of June , 2008 at 1:22 am
My post this week about robot helicopters rounding up cattle featured a picture of an autonomous helicopter under development by Northrop Grumman called Fire Scout, which was rumored to be heading into active military service sometime this year. It looks like they may be on track to do just that, as the Fire Scout has successfully fired weapons in unmanned testing. We’ve got some video of the test, as well as a highlight reel, after the jump.

Lol, that helicopter looks like a flying submarine. Wouldn’t be surprised if 30 years from now we’ll see robot piloted stuff like this all around us.
