MAV:s (Miniature Aerial Vehicles)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

MAV:s (Miniature Aerial Vehicles) are the most capable vehicles in the battlefield and other danger zones like in the areas of nuclear fallout. Those simple but large number of aerial vehicles can be very capable in the many missions. Of course MAV:s can also have wheels below them or they can walk with feet, what looks like the feet of the bugs, and that capacity would allow them to slip in from the small holes in the wall and ventilation tubes.

The computer system of those drones would calculate the certain point of the rotating propeller of the ventilation, and then slip in between the wings of the propeller. Those MAV:s can operate autonomously if they would connect their computers together by using WLAN or BlueTooth, and they can get very much calculating power for their operations. The MAV:s can have numerous shapes, and they can look like pencils, pastilles, tinderboxes, mobile telephones, and microchips. In fact, they might look like some dropped candy, and the agent would drop it from the pocket.

The MAV can be controlled from another side from the Earth, and this is, why it is very useful for spy missions. The MAV:s can be installed on the layer of the microcircuit, and they might slip in the military bases or some highly secured areas as playing the part of the microcircuit. Then they would be released from the layer, and they can fly across the enemy or opposite side base.

Those systems might have miniaturized inertial navigation, which allows them to operate in the EMP-protected spaces, and if they would not get the satellite connection, they can fly back to the point, where the satellite's radio signal is visible and send their data. Those systems might be extremely lethal if they are used in the assassination missions.

If those systems are equipped with explosives or nerve-gas, they can make serious damages to command centers. In some scenario, those MAV:s are equipped with tanks of acid, what they can deliver to the microcircuits. Or they can have things like miniaturized FAE bombs. In this scenario, those vehicles can be equipped with tanks, what is filled with the same gas, what is used in cigarette lighters, and that thing can be used to create miniaturized aerosol explosive.

If those drones would operate only in the reconnaissance mission, in the EMP-protected areas they can use inertial navigation or miniaturized gyroscopes for navigating themselves to the area, where they can deliver their data to the satellites.  After delivering their information, that is stored in flash-memories those tiny robots can go back inside the space, and continue to collect the data.

MAV:s can get their electricity from the loading point, what might be in the place, where they have been carried inside, but they might also be covered by silicone layer, what will make electricity straight from the light. The small size robots like MAV:s can also be equipped with a similar system, what is used in the self-loading watches. So the operator must only shake the MAV, and it would get the electricity, just like some kinetic motion loadable wristwatch.

They might have also many other energy sources, and those systems can get their electricity from high-power radio waves, or they might use fuel cells to operate. In this case in the operation area would deliver the hydrocarbon bottles what are filled with spree, and those MAV:s can fill the tanks by using alcohol as fuel. The plutonium batteries, what is used in pacemakers would be very interesting, but the problem is, that those small-sized RTG:s can be used to produce dirty nuclear weapons or pollution bombs, and that's why this kind of power source is not very useful.

The MAV:s can be delivered to the operation areas from aircraft, artillery shells or they can be delivered from satellites and carried in the pockets of the agents. They can communicate with headquarters by using modified GPS-systems, which can also be used for locating this thing.  Those MAV:s or MAV swarms can be equipped with sophisticated sensors. Even if one MAV can use one sensor type, the swarm can have different types of MAV:s. Against those MAVs can be operated by using high power radio signal, which denies them to communicate together. And the similar ECM-systems, what is used for jamming the radars can disturb the communication between those robots.

In those cases, the drones must be re-synchronize by setting a new channel for their radio transmitters that they can re-connect together. They should use self-adjusting radios for communication. In this system, one of those drones would send the signal, what makes the other adjust their WLAN systems to another channel if the signal would be weak.  Also, EMP-weapons like microwaves and high power radio bursts can be effective against drone swarms, and the last ones have no effect against humans.

In the wildest dreams NASA would send the swarm of MAV:s to search the atmosphere and surface of the other particles in the solar system. A large number of the RTG-powered RPV:s can be delivered in the atmosphere of Titan or some other planet or moon. They can search for the large areas of the planet or moon, and because there is a large number of independent robots in the atmosphere of the other planet, the loss of one of those robots would not risk entire mission.
