When you think of the term 'killer drone', your mind probably begins by conjuring up images of the kinds of drones employed by the US Army and others to wage war on battlegrounds around the world. However, a group of enterprising and risk-taking Finnish innovators have developed their own Killer Drone -- a drone that happens to have a chainsaw mounted onto it.
The Killer Drone is not supremely complicated, and essentially consists of a remote-controlled chainsaw that is mounted onto a multicopter drone before being set in flight, whirring along in frightening fashion the entire time.
Not only is the Killer Drone funny and interesting to look at, but it throws up interesting questions about the kind of implements that could be mounted onto drones for better or for worse.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Weaponized Drones
- Developing drones with attached weapons that could potentially disrupt traditional defense systems.
- Multifunctional Drones
- Designing drones with a range of non-traditional capabilities, from environmental monitoring to crop dusting, in order to expand their use in the industry.
- Entertainment Drones
- Innovating drones designed with a solely entertainment focus, as they garner a growing consumer interest with unique aerial capabilities.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Defense
- The defense sector can adopt weaponized drones as a new innovation to expand the traditional scope of weaponry.
- Agriculture
- Farmers can exploit drones for crop dusting and other field operations, while still monitoring them via remote control.
- Amusement Parks
- Entertainment companies can introduce drone related attractions that create interactive and thrilling experiences for park guests.
