I worked in this business for 10 years. The technology exists that allows us to reach out and touch anyone on the planet. All we need to know are their patterns of life and where we can expect them to be inside of a certain time window.

The heads up display stuff and POV piloting are incredible. I have a friend that is into it big time. Me, I hate the thought of the damn things hovering overhead. I dislike drones as much as I dislike trail cameras.

This is the stuff they let us know about.......
My Son had an electronics job in the marine aircore. Most questions I have asked him get the response, "Still classified"

There have been numerous sightings of 10-12 drones flying in formation across eastern Colorado and western Nebraska. It's a mystery, not yet explained.
It's a big story here, on the news every night.

I've been following the news reports of the drones flying up there in the eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska areas. Certainly is curious behavior considering the number of sightings and the publicity, yet no one has come forward to disclose who is involved or what they are up to. At some point, we'll likely find out, if it keeps up.

There is some LE surveillance going on to monitor cattle rustling in the upper midwest.
Formation flying is moving the aircraft between points in the US, mostly Air National Guard operations, for maintenance and training. And anytime one of these is operating outside a MOA (military operations area) it is accompanied by flight following by a manned aircraft per FAA flight safety rules.

I have done a bit of drone swarm work. That many drones need to deconflict (by altitude, speed or sensor) or risk an aerial demolition derby! I bet its a single controller in a MANET swarm that has a line of sight (LOS) to a ground controller (FAA rules)
Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has the Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Here's a video of 30 drones (sound familiar?) in a swarm

The reports I have heard about say there is no FAA flight plan filed, nor has anyone admitted they were flying them.
I have no idea if a flight plan is necessary.

Like men who go to bars, drones have only one thought in mind. And once the queen is done with them, out they go! Attachments:
