Flying, Swarming, Killer Drones This is not pure fiction. The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Project Agency - DARPA - has an ambitious research program well underway to develop flying, swarming, killer drone aircraft. It's "The Gremlin Drone Airforce" for national security and military protection in time of war. The Gremlins UAS DARPA's program is called The Gremlins UAS, unmanned aircraft systems. The concept is to launch swarms of killer drone aircraft mid-air from large aircraft carriers out of range of enemy forces. When they complete their mission, The Gremlins would be retrieved by C-130 transport planes. They would go back to base and be prepared for more combat missions.

Their tasks are mission critical including intelligence, su
