Microdrone Aircraft for Israeli Army

[Theophylact]

Looks basically like an RC model with a minicam and transmitter. Fits in a soldier's backpack.

I bet we could have some of those, but they'd cost $100K apiece...

[Epidemic]

we already have them but I doubt it costs 100k a piece.


Lets figure this out. small computer to interface with gps.

computer 200$
GPS 100$
Basic CDMA radio 1000$ with military security.
Basic RC airplane to house it 200$

Grand total cost 1,500 bucks cost

Modest government markup for R&D 1,000%

Epidemic, look at the costs on the ones we have now. Why do you think a markup of 1000% is standard? Reasonable, perhaps, but far from standard.
