The Airforce is designing something called an MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) which is supposed to replace human spy's. They are little robotic creatures that will have wings like a bird so that it can fly. The MAV will fly to a location where the it can sit for weeks watching someone or something by using energy from the environment, for example solar energy. The MAV will be equipped with a weapon or gas to disable targets like a snipper or a terrorist in a room without causing significant damage to the rest of the environment.
I think that this could be a good idea because, it would cause less civilian and military death. I think that it would have its down falls just like everything else does. I think it could end up being used for other purposes for instance to spy on american citizens and could become a part in disrupting privacy. Other wise the making and use of an MAV would be much less risky and the most that could be lost in a mission failure is a tiny robot not someone's father or husband.
