DARPA Seeks FAA Approval For Military Drones Over American Cities

by Tyler Durden
Wed, 10/31/2018 - 23:05

Authored by Nicholas West via ActivistPost.com,

Just a little over 10 years after drone surveillance inside U.S. borders was declared a conspiracy theory, it is now an indisputable fact of life. So, too, are military grade drones along the “border,” which in reality constitutes a 100-mile-wide swath that encircles the continental United States and 2/3 of its population.

According to a new report from Defense One, this level of access is still seen as a restriction by the DARPA-directed military apparatus. As new forms of autonomous aircraft take to the skies such as the latest Blackhawk helicopter drones that could be ready by 2019, DARPA and aircraft developers want permission to fly over large cities as needed. Utilizing a new artificial intelligence system that is literally called MATRIX, developers see an opportunity for more flexibility in potential use. Of course, surveillance isn’t mentioned among those uses:

After that, similar to Predator drone maker General Atomics, they have their eyes on FAA certification to fly large, unmanned aircraft within the continental United States, to help ferry people and supplies from the mainland to offshore oil rigs, among other potential jobs. Today, large drones likes Predators are forbidden to fly over the U.S. except in a handful of largely unpopulated areas along the U.S.Mexico border.

The FAA is now figuring out how to change guidelines to allow unmanned planes and helicopters to fly over big cities. “We are working with the FAA on that. Our stated goal is 2030. It very much depends on rule making. We are certainly hoping for sooner, for the mid-2020s, to field it,” he said.

About 2 months ago I saw in the local news they had trained a small team of police to operate drones during live situations... it turns out they lost their helicopters to budget tightening some years back.

Then there’s this: https://www.dronethusiast.com/best-drones-for-fishing/

The Northrop Grumman MQ-8 Fire Scout has been hot for a couple years and I suspect DARPA is getting ready to launch and recover from destroyers while they sit at the dock.

Yeah, but they have been watching our borders, not watching American citizens in major US cities...........................
