US military taught drone to destroy each other

The US Army successfully tested modern Coyote drones, which in turn know how to hunt other drones. Robotic hunters are going to put into operation before the end of this year.

There are data that drones-interceptors launched can be from different carriers. In turn, the developed devices can carry out attacks separately or as part of other drones. American military experts have taught drones to intercept and destroy quadcopters, as well as aircraft-type aircraft. Meanwhile, radar stations will ensure the fixation of the target. Drones interceptors will be able to attack even boats, some earthly targets. Modern Coyote drones have already been tested. It is worth noting that of the 12 launched devices only one could not cope with the task due to malfunctions in the engine.

Coyote is a single-use unmanned vehicle of small dimensions. It is equipped with a tail unit, a folding wing. In turn, the drone is able to stay in the air for half an hour. At the same time the flight range is almost 80 km.
