In 2015 DARPA sent out a call for something that sounds straight out ofMission Impossible: “a flock of small, single-use, unpowered delivery vehicles dropped from an aircraft, each of which literally vanishes after landing.” Just two years later, they’ve gotten what they’ve asked for in MORSE Corp.'s ICARUS drone.

The appeal of a dissolving drone to the military is pretty self-evident. In its initial call, DARPA, the Pentagon’s long-running experimental division, highlighted scenarios of first response, when soliders are called into disaster zones with insulin or plasma. In a military setting, it would allow for water or batteries to be delivered quickly to soliders, and the possibilities for reconnaissance are tempting as well. Regardless of use, letting the drones dissolve would mean one less logistical problem to worry about afterwards.

MORSE, founded by MIT graduates, developed a drone made out of what an MIT alumni interview calls a “lightweight film with a guidance system smaller than a tennis ball. The vehicle is made of specially developed polymers that, when exposed to heat or sunlight, quickly depolymerize, or disintegrate, into a clear liquid substance, leaving only the guidance system and delivered supplies upon landing.”

“Developing an aircraft that can meet the accuracy and range requirement [set by DARPA] alone is a challenge,” says MORSE CEO Andreas Kellas. “But add in the disappearing requirement and the problem becomes nearly impossible. That’s when you have to apply the MIT mentality: be creative, tenacious, and figure out how to make the impossible happen.”

The ICARUS project, which stands for Inbound, Controlled, Air-Releasable, Unrecoverable Systems program, came with funding goals of $8 million in 2015. Morse won the contract in 2016, and earlier this year they successfully proved their drone could both fly 100 miles and land within 30 feet of its target. Their drone now joins the large family of experimentalAmerican military UAVs. Just don’t expect to see one yourself any time soon, especially if it has already done its job.

The “we were not there” line has gotten a helping hand.

now Uncle sam can drop a grenade sized package on any world leader’s plate and leave no trace…scary shit:confused:

chief , Invisible ama Invincible ?

Invincible, impregnable, indomitable suggest that which cannot be overcome or mastered.Invincible is applied to that which cannot be conquered in combat or war, or overcome or subdued in any manner: an invincible army;invincible courage.

very well put sir but kindly explain the co-relation with the article heading

DARPA’s Newest Drone Disintegrates After Its Mission

kindly expound on Invincible comparing to disintegrating and see if they didnt mean invisible . considering the fact that disintegrating means it is no longer there it disappears it becomes invisible while invincible as you have said means its there but cant be destroyed , conquered

Winter Soldier stuff. They may use it in a clandestine hit to see how good it is. Somalia, Middle East war zones.

DARPA is always up to crazy stuff. Remember the robot dogs?

Invisible- that which you cannot see…
The above piece does not attempt to brand the drone as invisible…you can see it with the naked eye and is probably visible on aesa radars- its small size makes this quite a challenge-
Its obvious mission profile (think kim jong un) and its ability to disintegrate thus hard to prove Uncle Sam did chieth makes it impossible to subdue and/or overcome. In other words…invincible

very true but now this can and will happen anywhere…e.g: no one knew there were special ops in niger…even some congress members were in the dark:D

Nimeona invisible plane nikakuja mbio, would give up one ball to be invisible for a month, first task would be to castrate @uwesmake

if kenya had DARPA these ninjas would lead to a presser by religious leaders calling for a boycott to uchawi:D

:D:D:Dcrick bait

And yet in Kenya we can’t count people.

i have just counted five people in my house .

@uwesmake now you know where mama clinchy goes to akikuacha upanguse toto meffi

@horseguard hesabu farasi pole pole

fanya family planning

Najua tuliona hii.hata hivyo…
