The Navy is using unmanned robot helicopters to hunt drug smugglers. A Fire Scout helicopter called MQ-8B (apparently, the Navy shops for robots on the Jawa black market), the craft is more advanced than the remote operated drone planes used in Iraq in that it can take off, fly and land without human assistance. "MQ-8B became the first unmanned helo to deploy on a naval anti-narcotics mission when it left port in Florida on Monday aboard the USS McInerney," reports Popular Mechanics, noting that a crew of engineers were on hand "to help the aircraft stay healthy." Hey, MQ-8B. Here's a word to the wise: You know how a nosy robot helicopter can stay healthy? Stop snitching.
