That is what they need us (ie, programmers) for. Layers of programming jobs for a militarized swarm of these things. From twitch decisions to overall unit formation and attach plans. These would also be useful as bomb delivery devices. Think about it flying straight down, either reversed propeller spin or (more likely) upside down flight to avoid AA fire then sneaking through a window with plastic/gel explosives to take out a general hiding in an otherwise public building. Could be used for micro biological/poison attacks, like anthrax to take out key targets, or as cheap satellites for the 3rd world to spy on their people.

Of course civilian uses are vast as well, but harder to find really high priced jobs in the private industry.



Terrifying, but so damn awesome!
