Here's What We Know
The U.S. military tested the combat capabilities of a group of 40 drones. They were equipped with MILES laser systems for casualty tracking, live ammunition and cameras. This was reported by Curtis Taylor, a brigadier general and commander of the National Training Center of the U.S. Army. He posted a video of a swarm of drones flying and added that in the next war, drones will be as important as artillery now.
