Pesky Critters

Abstract

The synergy of quantum physics, nanotechnology, and the new science of biomimicry portend the bedrock of the machinery needed to produce the housefly unmanned vehicle, a sensor device no enemy could hid from. This paper looks at the technology needed for such a device. The goal of building a miniature vehicle by 2020 or 2030 is achievable. The current state of research is providing a firm foundation.
