The American company Duke Robotics works for the U.S. Department of defense, so the purpose of its development is not peace, but interesting. For example, the system TIKAD, recently introduced by the company allows it to be attached to the quadcopter arms, and not some kind of gun or something like that, but a real gun or even a sniper rifle. You can limit and a grenade launcher. Importantly, the aircraft has sustained its weight.
Patented system developers TIKAD like a normal mount for cameras and other devices, which are usually hung on the aircraft. But due to the fact that in this case we are talking about very different weight categories, the system strengthened, developed, and constructed in such a way that it allows you not just to mount on the copter weapons, but also to keep the balance of the apparatus and to ensure accuracy.
In addition, to control guns remotely — it also developed a special hardware-software complex. Information about obtaining technology development and will massively implemented, yet. Most likely, now the system is symbolic.
In the future, such developments can help to conduct military operations remotely, without risking in vain the staff and allowing them to quietly get close to the enemy positions.
