A quad rotor doesnt do much navigating after a rotor only slitely strikes a hard surface and the quadrotor crashes as junk on the ground. It does not matter how cheap it is if it strikes a wire, an edge, almost anything and it is rendered junk on the ground. Quads are cheaply made and malfuntion often, and have no all weather capability. Expose the workings of a prop system and even dust will bring it down before you know it. It appears many have forgotten what mil-spec is as they are wowed by nieto factor.


Multi-shot armed UAVs never even need to enter buildings to suppress urban threats.

Alpha pilots are not going to be in grunt units. Swarm units would be run by automation like the DARPA OFFSET program anyway. Problem is those UAVs would all be junk after the first tens minutes because quads wont last the complexity of urban environments even if controlled by AI. Garbage in garbage out.
