The effectiveness of these machines on the battlefield stimulated the aeronautical engineers to investigate further their concepts and uses: why not design even smaller machines, that just one person can control, and which can go and find out what is happening behind the next hill, beyond a copse, or a nearby building? Eventually, these drones, or Mini UAVs, could become sufficiently small and autonomous that they will be able to slip inside a building, or in and around trees, in order to seek out danger, or simply to survey a suspect, discretely and from afar.
