Predators Just Got Smarter
Armies of robotic drones may be just around the corner. Taking a cue from The Terminator films, the U.S. Navy is developing unmanned fighting vehicles that network together and operate in “swarms.”
The U.S. military’s unmanned drone planes have proven one of the most effective — and most controversial — weapons in the arsenal in recent years. American officials credit the use of Predator aircraft, which are armed with guided missiles, with eliminating a growing number of senior terrorist leaders who were beyond the reach of ground forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And now, these unmanned aircraft are talking to each other.

Robot drones are great and not so very expensive idea. Really the life of a man that sits on that chair in a plane that could be destroyed by the enemy is always worth more than a machine.

I totally agree but it does seem one step closer to Skynet.
