New technology that enables aerial vehicles to plan and verify missions could mean there is less need for military personnel to conduct dangerous surveillance operations in war zones. Developed for use in multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, the sophisticated autonomous computer framework allows one operator to control a number of vehicles from a safe position on the ground. It would also make surveillance missions significantly cheaper.
