It’s hard for me to see the value of a 500kg box of drones that can be delivered to anywhere the US military is, vs just many 500kg boxes of drones in vehicles wherever troops are deployed already.
If it doesn’t enable deploying troops, then whatever it is could likely just be sent the same way they are.
Nevertheless, an interesting technology, and will likely find a use, with a more specific use-case.
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. As a sort of smart cluster munition from space. Drop this anywhere, with a starlink receiver and control transmitter built in for the drones. Then dozens/hundreds of targeted strikes anywhere, without multiple missiles or deploying any troops.
